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…

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…

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…

Hanging firewood holder

Date 4 years ago

This is a very old project of mine. The construction was finished year and a half ago, but I first painted and mounted it now. I can’t really remember how much time I spent on making it but it’s somewhere around 20 hours. I didn’t have a lot of the…

Simple firewood holder – One day build

Date 4 years ago

I needed a firewood holder so I don’t need to place the wood on the ground. My rocket grill works best with rather small pieces of wood, so the size of the holder is reflecting that. I used mild steel for it and finished the build in ~3 hours. The…

Rocket Grill – Part 2

Date 4 years ago

I love to make very large pancakes on a traditional cast iron pan from Finland called Muurikka (or Muurinpohjapannu as it is officially called). I got the pan few years back and it came with a large gas heater. This was not good enough, so I decided to design a…
