Thanks man! Yah it was pretty easy, all I had to do was buy a blank mirror them grab a fee broken twigs and cut the 45 degree angles haha

All your stuff is awesome. The frame was just a "duh" moment. The beer pong table is fantastic. Thanks for posting the pics.

Thanks man! Yah I would love to make some more stuff I just have a hard time getting broken sticks! I want to make a bench and maybe a bigger coffee table

Love the mirror, and it's given me an idea for reconstructing my on-ice mirror (for goalies to observe stance and movement immediately).

I'll have to post my other on-ice props when I have a minute at the rink. I just finished a 'carwash' screen using broken shafts, and I'm about to do a 'Chara board' screener, although that's going to take a ton of cutting.

Ask the local rink to save you the broken sticks. Promise you will pick them up when they want them out.

There is somebody who already collects all the broken sticks and repairs them! Otherwise I definitely would!

Ugh, perhaps you can contact that person to see if you can get the ones he discards.

I got a call today that the hockey charity I work with is getting a big donation. The next couple of chairs I make will be 100% pro stock.

Here are a couple of other pics I found on an old network drive. A washers set and a park bench I rescued from my neighbour's outgoing trash.

I've been saving every broken stick I can find at the rinks here. Got 20 or so in a few months. Can't wait to try making myself something with em. Have no prior experience in 'building'.

Those are really cool creations guys! Would love to try something like that but dont have the tools, I have collected a few broken sticks through the years but enough to make a chair or table or anything.

All of my sticks are composite, they are hollow so I assume they are not easy to put a screw through them? Wont they crack?

Drill first; use machine screws rather than wood screws. If you really need a solid hold, or can't put a nut on the opposite side, put a wood plug into the shaft and screw into that. Epoxy is also your friend.
