unconsumption: Yes, there are other creative new uses for old oil barrels … We’ve come across examples of oil barrels repurposed as bike racks, cabinets, and now emergency-survival-kits-slash-stoves, among other things. Now here’s a BBQ / fire pit (designed by Bart Vos; above photo via Lineo) and three different seating examples. “Sweet Seat … an upcycled 55 gallon drum lined with recycled bike tubes. The seat and base are fabricated from recycled wood from a deck, the drink holder is made from bike chain rings balanced by a bike pedal.” (via ReGEARED on Etsy) Chairs. (top via CoolMaterial; bottom, via Pinterest here, with link to a source site that no longer exists) If you’re not sure what to get us for a wedding present…. Just don’t tell Katie I to you to :)
