Store display

 Here is the finished display piece that I teased a photo of the other day.

   Starting with some inspiration from the world wide web I headed to a nearby flea market to gather some time worn supplies. Once the dust settled from digging through the piles of  Linda's treasures I had found the perfect items for this project. An old door with the lower corner missing where some critters had chewed through, a pair of louvered closet doors and an old church pew with cracked paint along with a few other finds were stacked besides the truck waiting for a deal to be struck. As soon as the money changed hands the truck was loaded and I was on my way back the shop.

   After a quick stop at Lowes for a few more supplies I was at the shop and work began. The church pew was dismantled and the wood was used on the sides of the door and for the deck of the "porch". The closet doors make up the end walls and some rusty tin from my stash of goodies finished off the roof. I had to make the shelves from new wood but with some paint work and added distressing they blend in nicely with the older items.

   With the help of my wife Anna and two friends Chris and Steven the new display is in place and stocked full of items ready for purchase. A big thank you goes out to them for taking time out of their day to help me get this in place and ready to go.

Hmmm, what's this?

A tease photo of one of this weeks projects. I am hoping for some better weather so I can get some pictures of this outside.

Fresh Finds

A few pics of some recent finds.

 The Huffman oil can is really cool. It has an adjustable spout that can be moved all the way straight down. There is a stopper in the bottom of the can with a lever so nothing pours out until you are ready.

The red hand truck has some style to it. Rubber tires too.

The springs are a little over 4 inches tall. These could be used as decoration pieces or would work well as candle or flower holders.

The metal tray measures 10 5/8" wide, 18 3/4" long and 5 1/2" deep. Built tough it could hold just about anything you could put in it.

Look for these and other vintage and interesting objects in the Black Falcon Fabrication booth. Antiques in Milton 109 Union Street Milton, Delaware 19968.

Clean, Grind, Weld

Just a few photos from the shop. Working on a single door cabinet. 40 inches tall and 16 inches square. The cabinet will have bead rolled sides, barn wood top and adjustable shelves. Be on the look out for the finished piece soon.

Vintage Finds and Interesting Objects

These are just a few of the items currently available at the B.F.F. booth. There plenty of vintage and hand crafted pieces to choose from. Be sure to stop by 109 Union Street Milton, Delaware and see for yourself.

Pinterest, Etsy and Antiques in Milton

I am trying to get B.B.F. out into the web universe. It wasn't that long ago that I started this blog to allow me to show off some of my work. Now, I'm trying a couple of other sites.

 I recently joined Pinterest and have pinned a few items and I am curious to see where that  takes me. I am still learning the ins and outs of the site and plan on pinning a few items a day.

Etsy is another site that I have joined recently also. I am still building my store page and hope to have a few listings posted in the coming weeks. The plan is to offer furniture along with some of my other hand made items and vintage finds.

You can also find Black Falcon Fabrication pieces at Antiques in Milton. The picture above is from the booth. A few months ago I did a little remodeling of the space, adding tin covered walls and "steel" I beams for a more industrial look. The neat thing about the booth over the web is that you can see and touch the furniture and get a good idea of how it will work in your home. If you are in the area be sure to stop by. The store offers 6000 sq ft, 2 floors and multiple vendors. The address is 109 Union Street Milton, Delaware.
