Behold the East Coast Upcycler fork, spoon, corkscrew old door bead board distressted pool cue holder!
Hey, it’s Jason here from East Coast Upcyclers. So, it’s April Cent-Sational Salvage reveal time! Originally, we took a trip to Habitat and got materials to make a bird house. We were all set to do it and then my twin five year old boys told me that they didn’t like birds, so I scrapped the bird house idea. About that time I bought an awesome old door for $5 (because it was missing the glass). One evening while playing pool it dawned on me that I needed a pool cue holder and I needed to use that door. The next morning I headed out to Habitat and found some forks, knives and a corkscrew. I was still confused as to what I was doing so I started digging through my personal stash and found a….piece of plywood, left over headboard, old stain, half used can of paint, reclaimed wood, vintage trim and antique banjo clock. So, for those of you checking up on me to make sure that I stayed under the $15 budget, here’s the damage: $5 for the old door, $1. 78 (I think) for the silverware and corkscrews and the rest came from my personal stash. Check out the video below.

Here's how I did it....
I started with this door.
Then I raided my left over wood pile and found some trim and 2×4’s.
Then I found an old piece of plywood and beadboard and wedged it into where the glass on the door used to be.
Nothing like finding a left over can of Oops Paint and an old can of stain!
Paint is on and now it’s time for some distressing.
Thanksto my trusty sander!
Now it’s time for the kitchen utensil element. I put these guys in my vice and started twisting.
Here's a cool shot of the utensils after they were twisted.
Then I drilled a pilot hole into the door and screwed in the corkscrew.
Then I added the crowning jewel, this awesome old banjo clock.
Added a few pool cues and it was complete!
