Art from Junk: Used Sprinter Brake Calipers Become a Table
If you have ever seen a brake caliber, it's hard to forget the distinct look of the part. They seem to be both simple and intricate at the same time. A few years back I had a flat next to a huge delivery company. They had countless vans, and they did all of the maintenance on site. This saved them money, and it gave me access to a lot of cool things to build crazy works of art.
I guess I'll always be a little boy, because I cannot stop myself from playing with old machine parts. The greasy, dirty, and damaged parts are so cool to me. I wonder where these parts have been, and what they carried from place to place.
When a giant crate of Sprinter brake calipers was sitting at the back of the building, I asked if I could have a few. I was told to take what I wanted, and by the end of the day I had over 200 hundred used calipers on my floor.
For months I did not know what to do with them. Then one day I decided to build a sculpture. I started stacking them on my table, and eventually had a truck built out of calipers. I really loved it, but the weight crushed my kitchen table one night.
I was stuck with a busted table and a pile of Sprinter brake calipers, so I decided to make my art more practical. I used the old table as a model, and built a new table completely out of the brakes. I super glued 254 calipers together on my first attempt. It lasted two days.
Then I taught myself to weld. That version lasted almost a month.
I worked at night, so I got a day job assisting the welder at the repair shop in the delivery company. On the weekends they let me bring in parts of my table, and after building the legs and the sections of the table top, we assembled it in the shop and used a pallet truck to move it over to my loft.
The current version of the table is not 100% made from the brakes, but it is very awesome. First, it has a removable leaf in the middle. The leaf weighs 60 pounds, but it works. The tabletop is glass, so it's functional and shows all of the calipers that support the glass. And last week, we attached caster wheels to the legs. It can move around easily, but the casters can be locked into place when you eat. It's a great piece of art that I hope will be around for a long time, but I may have to hire the company next door to move the damn thing.
I almost forgot about the best part of making the table. I was able to quit delivering pizza, because I got a full time job as a welder.

Frequently Asked Questions...
What could be the problem, if you are experiencing these problems with your brakes?
I have been experiencing problems with braking. I noticed that the brake paddle does not go all the way down, and that I must apply a lot of force to press the brake, therefore, to stop. Now I figured this meant that I just need some more pads, because there is the screeching noise. But I have never ever experience such an inability to press the brakes and a vibrating sensation in the paddle as I apply them. Could this mean more than a need for new pads? I have heard several things: low brake fluid, bad caliper, possible lack or fluid to the caliper, and just plain ole' need for pads. So I'm uncertain of the seriousness of the problem, I will be having it looked at real soon, I just want to know what to expect. This is a fairly new vehicle, I have only had it for five weeks and have only driven it four times, and I am not currently driving it now. Please help.
Forgot to mention, but this is a Chrysler vehicle I'm speaking on.
Answer:
It sounds to me than you require a new set of brake pads for sure. The vibrating feeling you feel is your brake rotors no longer running true. In car lingo you likely a new set of pads and your rotors "turned" or replaced. Sometimes it is cheaper to have your rotors replaced rather than turned so do not be alarmed if they suggest to replace them as opposed to "turning" them. I wish you luck and enjoy your new car !
