I think I've found Hick's anthem, courtesy of The Ozark Mountain Daredevils. That's a lyric from their song Horse Trader. Have a listen if you dare.
Anyhoo...Hick is all about taking used things and turning them for profit. Or turning them into something he can use to make a profit. Here's one of his latest renovations.
As he described it in the email title, it's a "Shelve." Further indicating, "My new shelve for locker." Hick always was one to clarify things by using the exact same wording again.
I don't recall what he spent on it, but this fixture started as a set of decorative shelves over a hutch or china cabinet thingy. Hick put feet on it, and added three shelves. He had some checkerboard sticky paper that he needed to use up, so he used that as shelf lining.
This structure is now bolted to the wall of his Storage Unit Store, and holds Coca Cola and Pepsi items, along with some fishing equipment. I'm not sure I appreciate the mixing of styles, but it is definitely serviceable, and isn't going to fall over on anybody.
Would it be ironic if somebody wanted Hick to sell them the shelves so they can take off the three bottom ones, and use it with their china cabinet?

DeleteGreat for storing checkers.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh! I though he might set up a display of his collector Hot Wheels, but he's probably wary of miniature-car thieves.
DeleteAlso, it looks like Hick could make good money moonlighting as a clerk at Orb K, since his floor hygiene in the BARn is similar to theirs.
That would be ironic for sure. I don't like the checkerboard shelves, I think he should have tried to match the originals at least in colour.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked by the contrast. I guess it will make people notice the new shelves and go take a look at what's on them.
DeleteActually this would be a beautiful piece if it was restored. It even has the grooves for plates.
ReplyDeleteHick is not a restorer, unless cars or guns are involved. He will sell his items for a dollar profit, or revamp them to fit his display needs. Maybe somebody who restores furniture will inquire about the shelf itself.
