Old wood level made new....
Recently I featured an old gun I refinished and repurposed as a wall hanger (here) ...
I loved working on this project and I really liked the final results...and evidently so did someone else because it sold in just a few days!
So I look at things a little differently now...what can I do with THAT to make it useful again?
When I spied this old beat up wood level at an auction, I decided it would be perfect for "repurposing."
It really didn't take much to give this piece a new life! I liked the color and it already had the old "chippy and worn" look that is all the rave right now. I didn't have to do anything but clean it up and add a few hooks.....
I love old tools. Had this been my father's or grandfather's, I probably wouldn't have touched it. As a matter of fact, I have an old wood level that belonged to my grandfather...it is displayed with other family heirlooms and featured here....
But I love how this old level turned out. And it took very little effort or money. I think it would be awesome in a shop or utility room...or even a little boy's room!
Thinking outside the box...finding ways to take the old and give it a new purpose...
Super fun....
