I have a fire pit and made a cool looking ember containg mesh cover using a chain that I shaped and welded the links together. It is a super easy project because it is essentially just spot welds, but you need 4 per link for it to have structural integrity. It's great because you don't need any other tools to shape the chain.
I have also seen people make nice side tables and other art with that concept. I especially like the side tables that appear to be floating, held down by the chain.
I plan to one day make a muffler man for garage art but so far I have only saved some old car parts. I figure I can go to a couple mechanics shops and get scraps from them, but I am a bit anti social and lazy for that. Maybe one day.
