Thinking not many folks have seen firsthand a bare block like the one supporting the upper table. That's VW's narrow angle V6 which uses a single cylinder head to cover both banks. Wonder if the rotating assembly supporting the lower table came from the same engine?

The VW fridge is seriously cool!

I don't know the source of these pics but a guess is that they were downloaded from a website selling such custom goods. Pretty creative stuff and most of it is recycling... in a way!

I love the wine rack. Something to do with blowed-up blocks? Even keeps the bottles horizontal.

Road Kill Customs.

Here's a couple I really like:
