February 13, 2012 13:42

Drinking a lot of beer can lead to many things, including creating an art object out of empty bottles and selling it for big money. An Australian carpenter made a beer-bottle bed and sold it by online auction for $3,000.

Steve-Do you ever tour any states on the east coast, nmaely South Carolina, more specifically Columbia? I just recently relocated from Cave Creek, AZ for a job promotion and am considering moving back because I dearly miss the good times had at Cave Creek Coffee Co. and watching you perform. Please let me know if you have any future plans to tour in the South. Hope to catch a show soon.Regards,Steve

Hey guys just to get the record straight, I am a German carpenter who has been living in New Zealand for the last 6 years. So not an Australian carpenter. At the end of it was all a fun hobby, which I don't think I will be doing again anytime soon!!!.

@joseph walker

Speak for your self Joe, maybe drinking a poor quality beer which is what Australian beer has become preservative 202 etc additives, no labeling the coke version of beer perhaps (coke owns Blue Tongue so called "small cap beers", perhaps , but, however a good product (mostly fully imported from Europe) (probably not soon the way Europe is going), you could literally live on.
he is from NZ which of course is Australia lol

Any advice on a quality Russian Beer?

Also can an informed  Russian local finally clear up to me if Russian water is or is not Fluoridated , I’ve heard about five different stories.
i'm going with not.
i'm just a simple beer lover.

So is he Australian or a Kiwi? The story says both. The Dominion is a New Zealand based newspaper.

Ge tting New Zealand and Australia mixed up is tantamount to saying that Putin was born in Chechnya, or saying that Canadas Fifth Fleet are threatening Iran or that Irelands stock market the FTSE 100 is doing poorly.

From the way it looks, if you factor in the price of the beer, the foam, the fabric, the materials and the time invested. He either barely broke even or did not make any profits at all. Just a fun hobby.

Now, if he does pick empty bottles lying around, then maybe he would break even.

But the guy who really made profit is the guy that sold the homer simpson glue piece. That was totally crazy.
