Upgrades to my Japanese tool collection and making knifes
My latest thing are making knife handles for damascus steel blades that I’ve found on eBay and the likes. This particular example is currently in process and the images are from last Friday.
Fixing up the knife that i got from my grandfather as a teenager
When I was a teenager I remember me and one of my school friends being fascinated with knives and we even started making our own ones (of cause never finalized). My mother was extremely affraid of my with tools and knifes so I wasn’t even allowed to have it anyway. When I became a “boy scout” and got the “knife certificate” I was allowed anyway and when my grandfather found an already old knife in a dumbster and gave it to me as a gift. I was thrilled! Of cause it wasn’t really sharp and the blade was almost black already then.
Collection of old hand drills
Another recent purchase (which was almost a give-away): a large collection of old hand drills.
A box of chocolates, a box of old hand planes
Planning to do a new dinning table made me realize that I didn’t have jointers plane (a very long and heavy plane for make straight edges for gluing tables and doors). So I started looking at the local Danish version of eBay and found a very kind person who had an entire box of old planes for sale.
Softening the edges
One of my central ideas for the “Touch Me One” furniture series are the contrast between hard edges on the inside and very soft and smooth edges on the outside.
How it all started
I love music and have been into HI-FI stuff since my father gave me my first B&O transistor radio when I was six years old. I’ve been getting more and more into LP records and analog sound – and around May last year I purchased a “The Fisher” tube amplifier. It’s a beauty from around 1959 and it really sounds great!
