Little Portuguese Souvenir arrives at its destination.

A while back, I made a little Portuguese souvenir with somebody on the other side of the big ocean in mind. I feel rewarded with his comment on the little package I send to the USA.

Semi-interactive video. You can chose between my entry for the Challenge Tree and the one my twin-brother made. The Challenge Tree is an initiative of Dominic Bender at Dominic Woodworks!



After a few minutes you can click on "channel 1" for Gerrit's "Woodworker's meditation altar" or on "channel 2" for his twin-brother's "Mallet for, and made on a pole lathe".

Abusing a tabletop.

Sometimes you think, after making something new, it would be a good idea to make it old...





This tabletop is made simply from some floorboards, pine and very bright!






Some flames from the blowtorch 

Some “juvenile" carving

Some use of chisels and hammers

Some drilled holes filled with dowels

Some further abuse with a bicycle chain and knives











































































Makes an old looking tabletop on the bistro table.
