If you want to buy any of this stuff, I hope you have deep pockets.  :o :o :o

I think these are the same guys who had a show on the Discovery Channel or TLC a while back.  Wingnuts or something.

I like the "Get Bombed" table.  ;D

Yep, Wing Nuts, I think I seen an episode or two before it went away. Would be cool if they re-ran it. If they are still around when I hit it big, I'm going to have them furnish large parts of my home.  ;D

Need one of the B-52 office chairs for when things get bad on the forum.  :D

Sweet!   

...but their prices do look to be a bit excessive.  I bet a resourceful enough guy could build something similar on his own for much cheaper.  Hmmm....

Availability of the raw materials is a big part of the cost. Where are you going to get the basic parts to work with? Oh, yeah, just run right down to your local surplus store and buy a B-52 ejection seat.

Actually, I was just thinking from an aviation standpoint.  There are lots of boneyards to obtain parts from and refurbish, especially when they have no other practical value for reuse.   I mean really, does it matter if a desk is made from a B-52 flap or a 727 flap?  Either way it looks cool.
