The One-Year-Old Pirate!

This amazing pile of staff came to me as a gift from my brother and it took a while to figure out to do a pirateship with it! 

 Here are rolls from old wooden mangle, doors from a cabinet, door pieces from a cabin and handrails from chairs.

 By adding this there's enough for a ship, two pieces of drift wood from the river, horce collar and a wooden slab.

 Our baby helped with the craft and design and we planned to finish by her first birthday.

The main structure is like a box with the rolls helping to move it around.

The prow came out of the drift wood pieces and the bottom of the ship got the arch from the handrails,

 This old core of a wheel helped to raise the cockpit to a decent level.

 And the doors became really stylish pirateship cargo doors, the horse collar wonderful boaw of a ship.

 

Old cutting board transformed to be a nice frame for this old brass ship window.

Pair of rows for the edges and the mast.

 

And here it is, the ship as a cabinet, essential function for off play.

 The amazing steering wheel (and an amazing pirate) our baby got for the ship from friends as birthday present.

 And the deck full of pirates!

The Artillery of Art

Planning for a simple rack! A piece of hard wood with figure, a wooden bowl from my past grandma and a small army of  cylinders from the junk yard.

 After splitting the bowl in half, I made more challenging cut to get the figures to match.

Then after attaching turrets I sliced the scraps in to small squers to hide the screws and to give a finished look.

 And then made a proper holdings...

 for hanging it on the wall.

The Space Monkey

I was helping out in my friends farm to move a pile of junk when the beauty of some of the pieces of iron caught my attention.

Since there was good ground for building a creature I just went for it starting from the head.

 Then  I welded it to the body..

And the rest followed.

Greeting from the outer space of Savo!
