Horse Hame and Caster Barn Wood Coffee Table
Hey friends, folks and countrymen (and ladies)! Got another creation fresh from GadgetSponge Garage. I did some (minor) cleaning up of the garage recently to make more room to work. I got tired of scrapping my ankles up running into things. In the pile of "stuff" I had a couple of sets of horse hame bars. I had to look up the official name but it's part of the whole collar assemble for horses. Anyway, I also saw a very old metal caster set with an original axle. I then knew what I had to do!

Here you can see the horse hames. I cut the metal rings off so they wouldn't snag anyone walking by the table.

I used some more of the old barn wood just like I used on the party / dining table I recently made in the previous post (HERE).

Here you see the old caster axle. It took a whole lot of beating with the hammer and a fair amount of WD-40 to get it to release and roll again. But I got it whooped into shape.
