Research trip to the architectural salvage yard



What do you call a salvage yard where everything is four times the price of a normal salvage yard? An architectural salvage yard  !

In search of the holy grail of connections, Sam and I decided to take a little field trip to the salvage yard to peek around at old machinery. After a fruitless trip to one yard, we hit the iphone for more options.

Luckily, Steve Jobs didn't let us down. A few roundabouts later we found ourselves at some sort of cross between a salvage yard and an antique shop. Lots of cool stuff there.

Old farm equipment and industrial machinery; pretty much like blacksmith porn. Some very cool connections to be found at these places.
Full indoor and outdoor splendor.
Sam poses to prove that he was doing something course-related while not being at cultural studies.

 The largest pool table I've ever seen. It goes back six feet past where Sam is standing.

  1. Hi, my name's Jenny. I wonder if you can tell me what that machine is in the 2nd image from the top. I think it's the same machine in the bottom pic, but from the other side.
