Friend of mine did this with spare train engine parts, or something similar. Big *** pistons on that thing though, he used 4 pistons as legs, and 2 cylinders for the table + glass.

just use the block and weld a level peice of metal for a tray, and use the piston wholes as cup holders.

My friend Ron made a few of these. Had the blocks powdercoated, and used connecting rods to hold the tabletop up. They looked very nice. On his he used the cylinders as magazine holders.

What does a block weigh? I would think that table would be a bitch to move.

I thought it would be heavier......I already got alot of ideas in my head of all the things i can do with the block.....Im thinking I might make a sort of comfy bench for my room instead of a table
