A sauna ladle from the past

Date 1 year 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…

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…

Fence Extension

Date 5 years ago
We had a gap between our fence and hedge which became a problem when our 1.5 years old daughter figured out that she can fit through it. I spent an afternoon in the workshop to manufacture a bolt-on extension for it. I drilled holes, which I threaded, on the fence…

Metal yarn holder

Date 6 years ago
My son’s godmother is an amazing crocheter, and always hand makes all birthday and Christmas presents. As Christmas was getting close, I decided that I will hand make something for her as well; namely a metal yarn holder. The plan was to make the base so heavy that it can…

‘Cold Forged’ banister

Date 6 years ago
Our cellar staircase was missing a bannister so I decided to give a go on building one. I was lacking most tools required for bending metal, so a lot of that work was improvised. The result was well beyond my expectations considering that I had never done this kind of…
