Repurposed Vintage Water Ski & Sewing Machine Drawer Book Ends

by GadgetSponge Design House

So here's the latest creation from the garage. I have a gabillion vintage water skis that I'm constantly trying to figure ideas for, just like the beer and soda bottle opening station water ski I just release.
This creation here features parts from a vintage water ski and a couple of modified parts from some antique Singer sewing machine drawers.
Functional in more than one way. Store those little, loose knick knacks sitting on the table or in the bookshelf inside the sewing machine drawers. The size of each book end is 9" tall, 6.5" wide and 8.75" deep. So they are plenty big enough to hold several books together. For larger books, you can add a few, small rubber stick-on feet to grip even better.
Did I forget to mention all the yardsticks and measuring sticks!?! You know me, I've got to add them somewhere. They are so much fun to look at and they add so much architecture to each piece.

I have seen snow skis used like pickets in a fence at a chalet type week-end home and also as a boys room headboard......just a thought..
