trailer

i always wanted a bike trailer to pull random stuff that wouldnt fit in my bag. one afternoon i decided to make one myself. steel and wood are not the lightest materials but once it goes, it goes.

oil drum bbq

our bbq has seen better days and i always thought that oil drum bbq's are bretty bad ass. so i decided to make one myself.

since we got it, it turned into a grave yard...many(mals) have been cooked on it. nothing beats the alfresco dining experience you get with a bbq of that caliber.

hoover tubes 2

my first hoover tubes sculpture got sold. amazing stuff. the only draw back is that i cant show it else where, and that is pretty much what happened. i sort of agreed to display it in a gallery in canary wharf without having the work. 

I had about a month time to make a new one and luckily, since i work for john jones, i picked up a few new skills that allowed me to improve the newer version. I spent a little more cash on better parts and made the assembly easier. the lights on the upgraded version are hardwired led's... that come with a remote control and 16 different colours!!!

hoover tubes 2 was shown in the window gallery in canary wharf for a 2 month run. im negotiating terms with a museum in poland that are going to show it for 6 months, starting in december. update coming soon.

summer break

it has been a long summer full of travelling and fun. after graduating in may i felt that i needed a break.many things happened since then. i moved into a new studio, which is amazing and just around the corner. it took a while to shop around and get all the equipment together but im almost there. the first project that i tackled in my new workshop was the restoration of a kayak.its a wooden 2-seater that i found rotten on the side of the canal. loads of work had to be done,including sanding,rebuilding the frame work, replacing panels,laminating and painting. it took about 2 months in total to restore it. a nice little summer project. thanks to stu and ellis for their help:)
