Here's how to make a side table out of the crankshaft from a car's engine!
Upcycling is a unique way to display your inner gear head! This crankshaft side table was made from a crank from a 1MZ-FE from a Lexus ES300 engine. The base was a brake booster chopped in half (a brake rotor may also be used).
The crank pulley was bolted to the base, and the flywheel / flexplate was used as the main part of the table top. To complete the look, the valves, springs and seats were added to give the table more height and lift it above the flywheel bolts. a 15" round tinted glass top was added.
