Came across this great project by RCA graduate David Steiner. He makes in 'In house' mini factory using domestic appliances which replicate workshop machinery and out of it he creates a dining set .
Blender = lathe, disc sander, pottery wheel
Rotational moulder = embroidery ring and washing machine
Steam bender = micro wave
The video of how he did it is here:
