Fine Living

It’s tough posting something related to both weapons and The Dark Knight Rises at this point in time, but with respect and remorse for the terrible events in Colorado, I’m posting these home made Batarangs for a couple of reasons. One: they’re awesome, and two: instead of spending way too much money on crappy licensed shit, they were made in a open access workshop, which is one of the coolest ideas I’ve ever heard of. If you’re a weekend warrior, a tool enthusiast, or an unfinished man looking to bang on scrap metal and drink while shooting the shit with other like minded fellows, you’ll probably think it’s pretty cool too.

Restoration Hardware has been in business since 1979 and they are well known for creating pieces of furniture that remind us of the early 20^th century. Their latest offering is the Aviator Wing Desk which is inspired by fighter planes from World War II and those elements can be clearly seen as the desk imitates the bent wing of an aircraft. To me, the Aviator Wing Desk reminds me of the legendary F-86 Sabre. The polished aluminum and steel screws on this desk brings images of the F-86 I have seen in a number of history books I have read in the past.

The Aviator Wing Desk is built over solid hardwood frame while the polished aluminum is used as the cover. The desk also features three storage compartments which are cotton canvas-lined providing plenty of storage space for books and paperwork. With its solid hardwood frame and aluminum patchwork, the Aviator Wing Desk weighs in at a 184 pounds.
