Some new lights in our livingroom.
A while ago, I made a wooden shelf thingy behind our couch.
Inserted some electrical outlets and some network ports (utp outlets)
Put a load of little pebbles on top. But it needed some light.
Get some copper tubing, a pressure gauge, tap, bends and some electrical wiring.
Easy and lots of fun
Over a period of a few weeks i did a welding course, where i learned to weld with : Mig, Tig, Stick and Gas
I only did point welding, way back in school.
After the course i decided to buy a stick welder.
Because we brew our own beer, it was a no-brainer to grow our own hops.
Well … it sure grows .. and fast!
On several occations we made beer with it, but not knowing which type of Hops they were .. it was hard to do the calculations!
At a second hand store we bought a old 60-70 style livingroom table, because it was made from heavy large wooden table top. ( 22 euro’s )
Removing the legs, and cutting the tabletop with a pluge saw.
The saw didnt cut deep enough, but using a guide rail and cutting from the other side, i managed to cut it with ease.
Assembling time!
The girls sanded the top and put some protective layer on top.
Above the finished product in our kitch made of scaffolding material.
We made our own nerdy clock.
We took a big clock and covered the backplane with modeling grass.
It took about 5 containers to fill the backplane enough to get it nicely filled.
The lettering near the pictures are the RGB representation of the color used in our office.
Lets see if you can decode them all. (use password clock to view solutions!)
I got bored and attacked my work laptop with a belt sander!
After getting rid of the embedded logo, i took a can of black chalkpaint.
We wanted to have a nice design for our Folk Bands Audio CD.
So i designed a stamp we could use to stamp ink on a white CD.
Made a leather carrying case for 4 beer bottles.
Made a design and cut the leather accordingly.
Used metal rivets to connect all leather parts.
Using a lasercutter i’ve been making some wooden ornaments.
We send these as Xmas cards, so people can hang these in their tree afterwards.
We also used these for Advent Calendar decorations.
You can find the lasercut models attached

I like making stuff from scaffolding material.
Now a new cocktail/whisky cabinet.
