The smallest leather sombrero

Date 11 months ago

As you might have already figured out, I’m learning leather working as a new skill for my portfolio of capabilities. As it often goes, my kids come up with some great small projects, and this time is no exception. My son was spending time with me in the workshop, and…

Carving Halloween pumpkins – with a laser!

Date 2 years ago

My kids are still too young to handle a knife, so they can’t carve their own pumpkins. They first draw the design on the pumpkin before I carve it out. I always need remind them that the design doesn’t have to be perfect, and it might be that I can’t…

A drawing paper stand

Date 2 years ago

Both of my kids love to draw. The first thing that comes from their mouths when they get home is: “where do we have paper?”. We have piles of blank paper standing around everywhere, and if we don’t, it’ll be a bad day. I decided that now was the time…

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…

”I am bored” -die

Date 2 years ago

I’m in the process of making a bit larger laser cutting project, and I had to do some testing about cutting tolerances for it. Instead of just wasting materials, I designed a die for the kids. It is to be used during those “I’m bored…” -moments. The die has some…

Qawale – A miniature strategy game

Date 2 years ago

Me and my son love to play a strategy game called “Qawale”. It is very simple game, but requires a lot of thought. You could think it as a “Four in a Row” on steroids. The problem is that the board used for it is rather large and difficult to…

Question Block from Super Mario

Date 2 years ago

My son has a keen sense of design already, and he often comes up with ideas of models I should help him to create. My usual answer is that he needs to make a blueprint for it so I can be sure that I understand what he means. It also…

Hot Air Balloon Lamp

Date 2 years ago

Since I built the Triple Bunk Bed, I’ve felt that the ceiling lamp was not special enough next to it. Now was the time to get rid of that old IKEA lamp, and build something truly special. I think I made six different versions of the lamp, and ended up…

Water Spraying Teapot

Date 2 years ago

As you might have already figured out, this is a kids’ toy and not an actual teapot. It uses the same design as the Babar – The water spouting elephant, but the teapot has much larger volume and also has some small teacups to go with it. This is how…

Triple Bunk Bed – Build

Date 3 years ago

I made a design for a Triple Bunk Bed in January 2023. Since then my kids have been asking when the bed will be done as they really look forward to it. As the kids were growing out of their current smaller sized beds, I decided that it was time…
