Goggels behold!

As many of you might know, I'm attending the Recycling factory in couple of weeks as my first exhibition and on top of this I opt to participate to a recycle-fashion-kinda-costume-contest as a Airship Engineer !

So I have a costume to make and since good goggles are such a crucial part of steampunk I just had to make a pair.

 This is what I found for this, an old oil lamp and a lens collection from a epidiascope.

 Everything set apart to the useful pieces. 

 Lens set inside the crown to make it work as a telescope with another lens in front of the eye.

 Some leather glued to back and front.

 And behold the goggles! Works with bronzen boys,

                                            Babies,

With my wife :),

And with me with the hat of an airship engineers!

Introduction to the blog

This blog is about creating something beautiful from what I have in my hands.

It includes non-solid things, like beautiful thoughts and beautiful acts for that is within my capabilities, but mostly it is about creating with hands to make beautiful physical objects.

This blog is not about minimizing,
nor using the least possible work to finish.

It is about intending to create the most beautiful things with what we have and aiming to do it just right.

By seeing the fullest potential of the stuff in our hands and by finding what is needed,
we can achieve beauty and perfection.
I mean that nice kinda perfection that comes with the flow, sometimes so effortlessly.

And since the beauty is in the eye of the beholder we certainly have means to do it.


I work preferably with old wood, soft metals and hardened leather to answer to the needs of the world - usually something that I need for something - and to make the most out of it.

This blog is about those processes of crafting that are so much enjoyed and would like to be shared.

Behold world, for the story of every little thing just might be interesting. :)
