While consuming alcohol and engaging in experimental carpentry may not seem like an ideal combination, sometimes it yields beautiful (and lucrative) results.
New Zealand carpenter Steve Sandvoss saved a year's worth of beer bottles in his garage. When deciding what to do with them, he opted to take on a man's highest dream and make it a reality by building a bed out of beer bottles.
