✨ Hello, this is my very first post here on Mastodon.

I create handmade leather goods and wooden furniture, crafted with care and traditional techniques. For me, working with natural materials is not just a job but a way of life.

If you’re interested, you can find some of my works here:

I’m looking forward to connecting with people who love craftsmanship, handmade objects, and timeless design.

Schön war es gestern im #Wald beim #vhsdresden Kurs Spielzeugbau. Die Sonne zwinkerte zwischen den Bäumen hervor, das Wasser plätscherte, die Kids schnitzten oder spielten mit ihren selbst gebauten Sachen. Es enstanden ganz eigenwillige Dinge nebst Zwergen, Schwirrhölzern und Brummern. Selbst ein provisorischer Löffel wurde angefertigt und benutzt.

Spielzeugbau im Wald steht auch für #Kindergeburtstag und andere #Natur-Werk-Anlässe, #Schule und und #Kita in #Dresden zur Verfügung.

The table top for the new Apple II+ table is finished. Just curing for a week or so. Still need to build the frame. This one will be simpler than the last. Just a basic mortise and tenon with an extra set of supports about six inches down on the sides and back.

(Je ne mets pas de texte alternatif ici parce que je vais faire la description dans le corps du pouêt)

Photo 1 : pour enlever la matière du papillon qui dépasse, c'est parti pour un bon coup de rabot.

Photo 2 : après un petit coup de ponceuse, on obtient une surface bien lisse. On voit bien que le papillon bloque la fissure.

Photo 3 : un peu de pshit-pshit d'eau pour faire ressortir les contrastes du bois et voir à quoi ça ressemblera une fois vernis 😍

J'y ai passé plus de 2h. Beaucoup de travail avec les outils à bois. J'ai pris mon temps pour ne pas faire de bêtises et je vérifiais régulièrement que je n'enlevais pas trop de matière. Et voilà !

J'ai posé mon premier papillon !!! Trop contente ! Maintenant j'ai le droit de manger 😝

Continued thread

Finally got around to making the bowl.

Turned out nicely, but all those facets were too annoying to sand properly without losing their definition, so I'm not very happy with the final feel of the surface.

In retrospect, I think I should probably have just made the facets using a higher grit on the belt sander, sacrificing speed for a nicer final finish.

#woodworking #DIY

Until now, I have usually cut bigger pieces of wood and especially sheet material on the floor using supports of hardfoam or scrapwood. However, as I am tired of this method and have a number of sheets to cut in the near future, I decided to build a sawing station with a grid, similar to the one in the first picture. Originally, I planned to use homemade wooden saw horses as the base. But after finding these collapsible steel ones, I ordered them. For €45 including shipping (a pair), they are really very sturdy and well made. Adding a grid will be no problem and make my life easier. When not in use, I can take everything apart.
