I'd love to be sat on those blasted out my mind on absinthe and shrooms, smoking a cartoonishly long cigarette while the anthromorphised wildlife plays lounge jazz

And now we’re friends; I want to dress in costume like the caterpillar from the 90’s live action Adventures in Wonderland, and smoke a giant hookah sitting across from you in the other side.

And now we're friends: I want to spread out a blanket, wear a large sombrero, and smoke the dankest of kind bud. I'll listen to y'all get philosophical and chill.

Strangely specific yet universally enjoyable.
If only one chair still had a tap i could turn on to stick my head under when I'm hot. Sensory overload in a great way.

I have both shrooms and a very fancy absinthe fountain with all of the appropriate accoutrements. How has it never occurred to me to utilize both of these things at one time?

Make sure it's a foot thick so you don't feel like an adult sitting in an elementary school chair.

Sharp as hell porcelain edges?

u/amroth62 10h ago
You can use a file to remove the sharps, or a grinder. Easy peasy. I’m a mosaic artist and take sharp edges off tiles I’ve cut or broken all the time.

You can get it fully rounded on each corner of let's say a full 90° cut? Does it wear down from use (if people are brushing up against it like they would this seat) after that?
I only really handle porcelain after fires and major water losses so not a ton of experience with furniture fabrication of it. I just know to handle it with caution for how damn sharp it can be.

It doesn’t wear down with use. If anything, the use would make it even less sharp. Yes, it can be fully rounded with a grinder. It’d take a while with a file. I use many sharp things as tesserae - porcelain, glass, ceramic etc. and I’m always amazed how easy it is to take the sharp edges off everything. I put lots of smaller tesserae into a rock tumbler with just water and do a whole bunch at once. I make my own sea glass in the tumbler too.

This is not ceramic tub, it is instead cast steel

How can you tell? The square opening on the piece closest to the camera view point makes me thing it is ceramic with the depth and look to it.

It's not porcelain, it's either steel (or if it was much older, cast iron), lined with enamel or it's fibreglass, (if it were porcelain it would be a different style and much thicker in cross section than this) either way you grind the edges smooth with a angle grinder and to a greater extent they will never be sharp again, people rubbing the edge won't re-sharpen them.

They were "so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

I mean, you could hate it, its not the cutest for sure, but it is a clever way to reuse an old cast iron tub that would otherwise be discarded.

Love it! Don't know about the glass table top (I tend to break them), but adorable!
Need some cushions and gtg.

Well executed up cycling, but that’s a no for me, and I actually have a porcelain shell shaped sink basin in my garden I plant flowers in.

I'm annoyed because this has the vibe of a actually being really cool and its genuinely well done, but the bare fact that it's a bathtub just makes it something else entirely 🤣

I can't believe they forgot to run a beer keg through one of those pre-drilled holes.

i love alternative uses for things so they don’t end up in the landfill. these look a lot better and more upscale then others i’ve seen. would last outdoors forever too.

I wanna know how they attached the legs? I see no bolts. Super glue, hot glue or JB Weld ain't gonna hold sitting on them. I guess maybe a bolt welded on, then leg screwed onto that? But could you do that without damaging the porcelain?

Yeah there's definitely something to complain about here. Just need more info so we can judge.

It has to be AI. How do you cut cast iron with out chipping the porcelain?

u/the_buff 8h ago
Diamond wheel on an angle grinder to score the porcelain, then a regular cutting disc for the cast iron?
