Houten meubelen volgens ambachtelijke methoden

Handgemaakte eiken zitbank

October 25, 2016

Dagen voor de openingsdrink had ik te veel hout en te weinig zitplaats. Een nieuwe bank was onvermijdelijk. Het stuk eik was te breed voor mijn schaafbank ... Gelukkig had ik nog een pot ''elbow-grease''.

The layer of veneer is about as thin in life as it is in woodworking. 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 Rouwcentrum translates as funeral home and meubelfabriek as furniture factory. A lot of things have changed in the pas few months. On a more global scale, no doubt but for me mostly on a personal/professional level. Let's see if I can get my social back to its normal (fairly irregular) schedule. #regularpostingschedule #buggenhout #moving

My third attempt at turning a bowl (nr 2 fell off the lathe this morning). I'm learning a lot and will try to turn at least one piece every week from now on until I am somewhat proficient. A long way to go but looking forward at getting better. Also I NEED a bigger bowl gouge. 😎 #learningturning #bowlturning #cherry #lathe

Give your chickens a nice tiled roof today! They deserve it. Too much? #overkill #chickencoop

#therapy Why I thought sanding of varnish would be a good idea is anyone's guess. After two passes with 60 grit and hardly any result I decided to use a handplane. This of course should have been my choice to begin with. Using a scraper wasn't going to cut it since the table was all wavy and some flattening was necessary. Not really sure why every second board was hollow it's not like the boards were arranged in an obvious way 🤔 Anyhoo an hour or so well spent

Most of the woodworking I do is not fine art. This jig I made for cutting quick and dirty splines definitely isn't. But sometimes I wish it was because in art you can express emotions and feelings a lot easier then you can with a mitre joint. #art #comeswithextraducktape

Not a lot of work coming in these days, mostly repairs. Luckily I am still allowed to go to work. Clients are not allowed to come, but I am allowed to do pickups and deliveries at the door. I can work in somebody's garden but not in their home (unless nobody lives in it). I have no employees so it's all reasonably safe as long as my 87y old neighbor who drops by every day remembers to keep his distance ... But honestly it's mostly me always making sure I have an escape path (I use the workbench as cover) Nothing short of another war will stop this guy from doing it his way and I love him for it. All in all we are ok I hope you are too. (but do not hesitate If you need something made out of wood, I can really use the work) Also this chair needed a new thingy. #socialdistancing #custom #strangenewworld orld #woodenfurniture #houtbewerking #houtenmeubels

Ik herstel tuinmeubels meestal met hout uit andere, oude/kapotte tuinmeubels. Nieuwe teak is gewoon te duur (en niet noodzakelijk beter) Momenteel is de recyclage-teak op. Donaties van oude kapotte banken en tafels zijn altijd welkom. #realcycling
