We finally finshed the shed, the tools have been moved in too and there is electricity! The front doors slide to the sides, leaving a two meters wide entrance to easily move large stuff. In the end we decided to leave the natural color, so we may give it a second coat of paint, but …
This is the third model of the Epic Weapons Series, based on the spatha kind swords, born from the late Roman empire but then spread in other cultures and surviving during the middle ages, the most notorious example of this cultural grafting being the viking sword. This is the Ace of SKulls! Ace of Skulls …
This is the second model for the Epic Weapons Series, a sword inspired by the iron age Greek sword kopis, one of the most iconic swords of antiquity! In keeping with the sword’s origin, I created a design inspired by the hydra, one of the most famous mythical beasts of all times, one born from …
I’ve had recently the sudden idea that I could make my knife’s design as a 3D model, preparing the model specifically for 3D printing. This looks like a random idea, but it really comes from the passion for swords and knives, that left me in the past often unsatisfied from the little number of designs …
We finally added the small door on the side, and I finished today the doors high on the facade, they lack only the latches. Most of the tar sheets are in place too, and tomorrow the roof will be finished for sure. Tomorrow I’ll finish the back wall, the glass pane for the window is …
We have finished the walls on the sides, and the roof too is completely closed, now it needs to be covered. We’ve done most of the front and back walls too, but those have the top triangles that means we’ll have to shape very precisely a lot of purlins. Meanwhile I took the best purlins …

Lately I haven’t had much time to work on my stuff, because we’re building a shed where we plan to move all the tools we have in the attic, that get all the space and make it difficult to work well. The shed is 4,5×4,5m in size, so being that big we’ve tried to find …
A couple years ago I decided to carve a sperm whale from wood I had lying around. I attached the jaw with a brass hinge because I wanted it to look like an old toy, but I wanted to give it some life, so I casted two half spheres in clear resin, and painted the …
Furnaces are usually tall, hollow cylinders, and mine doesn’t make an exception. This means that the last pair of tongs that we made, designed for pouring, won’t be able to take the crucible out of the furnace, for that, we’ll need specifically designed tongs. These new tongs will share most of their crafting process with …
