I can't stop making stuff.

Unread post by Welder »

There was a thread about stuff you’ve made but I have looked and I can’t find it. :oops:
(Admin, sorry, move as you feel appropriate)

I’ve been making stuff like below for a while now. They are all made from pieces of firewood cut locally.
I’ve sold a few pieces now at various venues and hope in the near future to have a web site up and running.
Anyway, thought some of you might like a look.

Thanks.
I’ve been designing and making things most of my working life, from audio kit, to more recently, the house I live in.
What make these objects different for me is I’m not working to drawing or a set design goal. They’re more art than function, though I hasten to add the lamps do in fact work. :mrgreen:
As for the making money bit…well I won’t be retiring any time soon on the proceeds but I’ve met some interesting people who I wouldn’t have met through the more engineering based stuff I’ve done in the past.

I’ll pot some more pics one day.
