Interesting Enthusiast Project: BMW Engine Block Table

Hooniverse.com shows how Kamil Kaluski took his passion for BMW to make a very innovative project: a BMW engine block table. It may sound easy, but the process was very difficult according to Mr. Kaluski.

“I always had the idea, I finally had the engine block, and now came the hardest part – actually getting it home. There are few problems with that: first, I live in a high-rise condo in the middle of a city, meaning that it pretty much has to be finished before it gets there. Second, my wife is very particular about our home, which is not a bad thing, but convincing someone who has zero interest in cars about having an engine block as a coffee table is not easy.”

Before moving the table into his house, Kamil took the engine block to a shop for cleaning, sanding and final detailing.

“To my surprise my wife did not hate the engine block. She actually liked the bright aluminum and unconventional shape of it, just not as a coffee table. We reached a compromise and the engine block table would end up in our living room, but it will serve as an end-table and not a coffee table. Surprisingly, this actually made the project easier,” he said.
