How about this nice $2600 sink for your bathroom?

I think they should have been gold-plated--on a rusty (55 gallon drum) sub-strate (is that the right word?).

On the other hand, maybe we could get ourselves really classy looking sinks using surplus drums--but there's no storage underneath  :(

With a single propane burner under the bottom it would really make one cozy hot tub. :-/

Reminds me of a hot spring we have in the eastern Sierra's.  They call it the Crab Cooker. :)

Remember the Foxworthy cartoon from the first "you might be a redneck if" book--if you ever made a hot tub out of a trolling motor--with a blissed out little kid in the 55 gallon drum.

I could so do this in our hall bath!!! Hmmmmm....... I could cut an opening at the bottom for a little storage., no scratch that build a shelf of galvanized...and make a sort of counter around the back 3/4 of the drum cut so that the front 1/4 retains the circular shape and projects from the counter.  Wheels turning...

Sweet-T-Pie  :-*! Give me $2,600 and I will furnish three bathrooms and a kitchen.  It's not that I am cheap, but down here we burn our trash in those barrels.

Garsh, Nanda ---- :-[   No convincing you it's high class? :)

I thought that the idea of the mirror made with a locking ring for the drum was inspired!

No low-class person would put a--presumably beveled--mirror in the locking ring!   :o It's such a sophisticated thought  ::)

But I still think that a used drum would be better than new, gold plated over rust or not.  With the sink part a steel drum??

It's multi-functional. That's what makes it so expensive.

I think "class is in the mind of the beholder"...or something like that.
