Приєднався 20 лис 2019
Black Dog Builds spotlights the unique creativity of the craftsmen at Black Dog Salvage, an architectural salvage company based in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. For 20 years, Black Dog has tried to do their part to save pieces of architectural history and either resell them or reimagine them into custom furniture or home accessories. Equipped with an impressive wood and metal shop, Mike Whiteside and his crew of fabricators bring "left-field" ideas to life by cutting, welding, bending and hammering their way to upcycling nirvana. What will they build next?
