Ok so this is the explanation of The Table -O-Brass!

I had been thinking one day that i wanted to do something with his 30" piece of round glass that I had. Well i had a military buddy that is a wounded irac vet sobi thought what would be better than make a table fro him entirely made from spent shells. Ones to that couldn't be reloaded for various reasons. Basically a way to fix show him even know something may be broke it can still serve a purpose.

So I started collecting shells from any where i could get them for free ( I am currently in a low income status).

I have started laying out the brass so far I will be posting pics here later today. But I am totally open to comments and suggestions. Will post again here in a little bit

Ok so since I don't currently have internet at the house (it sucks being broke lol) ill post what i can from my phone.

Here are some pics. Since i can only post 4 pics at a time ill have another with more pics in a post right after this one.

The first pic is one of the glass it self, the second is a test of random rifle brass around the edge (top view), the third is the side view of the rifle brass test, and the fourth pic is the final design of the pattern.

its still a WIP but i just ran intoa problem with some brass. No primers. I don't think it will turn out well with the epoxy and no primers ( spots for air pockets/ to form). So if anyone might have some spent primers they could spare let me know any kinds would work. L&S pistol, L&S rifle and 209's. Drop me a PM if you could help.

ok so if any one knows about the storms that ripped threw here you'll understand.

I had the table set up im my back building ( around 1000+ rounds on it ). Apparently my back building has gaps some where because after the 95-100 mph winds on 6-29 ( that took out two good sized oak trees that fell blocking the road.) I opened up my building to find ALL but one lonely 17hmr shell scattered EVERYWHERE!!!! I didnt think took take pics just because i had an entire fridges contents to throw away and find some way to remove the tree.

But my sample for the epoxy finally showed up.

Heres a pic of the trees. My house is on the white one on the left behind the tree lol. Oh you cant tell but we (me and my wife) were rear ended at an out traffic light that friday also. Rough couple weeks YAY OHIO!!! LOL
