We love it when people give new life to old materials.
Over the years, we have been amazed at the creative ways that you all have turned discarded building materials and unwanted scraps into beautiful, functional items for your homes and businesses.

Forklift Fan Luci turned an old window sash into a "stained glass" masterpiece.
|
We've gathered a bunch of odds & ends, bits & bobs, and parts & pieces - and we can't wait to see what you do with them! (see sales details below)
Don't forget to take before & after pictures of your projects...
We'd love to share your photos with the rest of the Forklift Fans! Post pictures on our Facebook page, or email them to Outreach(at)CommunityForklift.org. Please include a few sentences describing what you built, what Forklift materials you used, and how you put it together (a lso, make sure to tell us if you don't want your full name used when we share the pictures online) | | Artist Antonio Ole once used our doors and shutters for a show at the National Museum of African Art. |
Take at least one picture of yourself, posing proudly next to the finished product! If you're camera-shy, cute pets or kids will do nicely.
To get started with a little inspiration, visit the Customer Creations page on our website!
 | | Forklift Fans Laura and Kyle said, "Our coffee table was made from what we think was once some kind of mailbox cover, stair spindles and a door knob. We love the unique pieces we've been able to put together!" |
