If you set out to do something, anything, you are starting a project. This can be anything from a simple tea light holder to a complex prop. Everything is a project, and it is the projects you get to finish that have the greatest impact on your creative journey.
Here you can find those projects that I have managed to push across the finish line, and that was not always easy. I hope you find them and their presentation entertaining ans inspiring!
You can always reach out to me to ask questions about a particular technique or project. I am always happy to help out if I can, especially when it comes to finding solutions for those problems that have bugged you for ages. Maybe a fresh set of eyes and skills can help.
It all started with the idea of making a chess board, followed by the idea to make it usable for other games as well. From there, it was just a short leap to making sets of fantasy-race inspired meeples. And since I did not get the project as far as I… Continue Reading Fantasy Game Box – 2×4 Contest Entry
Maybe some of you will remember the Cat Food Station, a project where I think I learned quite a lot, mainly by making many involuntary design changes, also known as errors. The cats recently started to sabotage my well-designed contraption, so I try to remedy that with a new dry-food… Continue Reading New Kitty Trough – Introducing Paw-L
To celebrate the inofficial Star Wars holiday, May 4th, I made this eshaust grate, a vent cover that has been requested to be made proton-proof – although I might be running a little late.

I think these wooden cups are the best by-product I ever made, and whatever you put in it, I guarantee that it will taste as least as good as it would in any other cup. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
You know my shop. Care to take a guess at my desk? Well, it is not that bad, but still, I recently realized that I do not have any kind of organiser for pens and the like on it. That, and an idea on what to use an angle grinder… Continue Reading The Desk Volcano – Organise in Style
In order to make something that would be eligible for the Challenge Tree contest, I show you how to make a simple tealight holder. Keep watching, though. I said simple, not boring. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
Every winter, our wardrobe has to struggle with all the winter garb we stuff in it – from caps over gloves up to ski pants. There is little to be done about the later, especially since they are not often needed on a daily basis, but I wanted to relieve some… Continue Reading More Room for Winter – Wardrobe Extension
Ever had a kitchen fire? We were lucky thus far – except that one time when a friend made strawberries flambé – but it cannot hurt to be prepared. A surface to make notes or take down dish wishes comes in handy, as well. And a calendar. And a place to keep… Continue Reading Multifunctional Fire Blanket Holder – Kitchen Utensil Challenge
Someone recently challanged Carl Jacobson to make a winged tealight holder. It was kind of an open challange as far as I understood it, so how could I resist? Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
Recently, Chris Pine made a wall holder for his Galileo thermometer. His video reminded me of our own such device that was gathering dust on a shelf. Inspired, I wanted to make one myself, and put a little spin on it – or, shall we say, take a hands-on approach. Enjoy,… Continue Reading Galileo Thermometer Hands-on Wall Holder
