Stitch flattening tool

Date 3 months ago

I realised that I didn’t have a tool for flattening stitches when I have tooled or creased the leather tight next to them. Usually I just use my small polished hammer but I didn’t dare to do this with my skull belt. I asked for advice in Reddit, and one…

Workshop v3.0

Date 6 months ago

For the last couple of months I have been rearranging my workshop, this time with a focus on leatherworking. I’ve spent a lot of time on creating the best possible lighting setup for the projects I do: I need spotlights on the table for the small details while doing leatherworking,…

The Ultimate Workshop Chair

Date 10 months ago

I’ve been pulled in to the wonderful world of leatherworking, and to accommodate it in my workshop I’ve made some changes. The most important change is the introduction of a new chair! I’m usually not sitting down while working, but now it is much more important to be comfortable while…

A sauna ladle from the past

Date 12 months ago

I was visiting my childhood home in Finland, and while I was sitting in the sauna I realised that my old sauna ladle was still there. It was made by me when I was around 10 years old, and it has been in my parents sauna ever since. I don’t…

Silfer Works Racing Team – Introducing a new Soapbox Car!

Date 2 years ago

My neighbour told me that there is a soapbox car race planned for the neighbourhood kids in three weeks. I of course loved the idea! Just one problem: We don’t have a soapbox car… It would be pretty tight with only three weeks to the race, but I was sure…

Narrow John – A reborn classic from 1963

Date 2 years ago

This is a project that started over 10 years ago, and now I finally had a perfect reason to finish it: my youngest child learned how to ride a bike and I needed a new bike for our adventures. I could have of course used my expensive mountain bike, but…

“Mesla” – an electric trike with two seats – Part 1

Date 3 years ago

I’ve been thinking about building an electric trike for some time already, but I never pulled the trigger on buying the motor and other components as I couldn’t find a reasonable battery pack which didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Also, as the trike is meant for the kids,…

Companion firewood holder

Date 3 years ago

I made a hanging firewood holder some time back for my sauna, and I’ve started the bad habit of taking the firewood inside in small batches and placing it on the floor. This had to be corrected as I could easily stumble over them while moving inside. You can find…

Metalworker’s Pacifier

Date 4 years ago

I was too cheap to buy a new chip collector, and I didn’t like the fact that I would need to use two hands to release the chips. As I had some leftover neodymium magnets from an old project, I decided that I’ll spend my Saturday night to design one…

Restoration of an ancient metal brake

Date 4 years ago

I got an old metal brake from the family of an old machinist who had passed away. It stood in my workshop for almost an year, but I finally restored it and added a new handle to it to make it functional again. The brake was painted with machine enamel…
