Wing Nuts

so there was this show on Discovery Channel couple of years ago. It was called Wing Nuts, and was about 2 dudes salvaging airplane parts from junk yards and making sick furniture.

Who's gonna be a baller and buy me one? I like those cowling desks alot.

yessir. One of those wing desks runs for about $10K.
look at their online store for prices on accessories, and go from there


but in reality it is a compete ripoff. the materials cost next to nothing from the airplane junk yards. even if men-hours accounted for a half of the price (which is really hard to belive), and all materials for another 10%, that's a 40% markup. i would not mind making $4K of pure profit out of something like this.
just need a garage, truck and some tools.

I remember the show. Kind of ended after one of the guys died. Don't remember why he died, but it was not an accident or anything.
