mirrorshard...was just what I needed. I went over to London Hackspace and built some furniture. To be precise, I'd been feeling the lack of anywhere to hang my hat when I visited, so I built a hatstand, or "hackstand" as it was immediately christened. This involved lots of metalbashing, splitting open a length of old copper tubing (using a Dremel with a cutting wheel, a DeWalt drill with a much bigger cutting wheel, two pairs of snips, a junior hacksaw, and a hammer and chisel), folding down and safing off the prongs, bashing the living daylights out of it on an anvil, and attaching the resulting pieces to a long length of wood I found in the Heap. That needed something to stabilise it, so I took some old desk legs and a piece of interestingly graffitied wood and built a small table.
It's perfectly serviceable as it is (not only did it hold my hat very nicely, but it also held my weight), but I want to do some surface treatment and patination on the copper, and paint the edges of the table.
