What to do on a Saturdaynight?

Ooh! I know, play washtub in 'de Ooievaar' with the neighbours dearest.



Little bit muffled sound, but with some decent speakers you ought to manage. (or turn up the bass)
Thanks to Marko & Shelley!

Looks like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Bittersweet Colt Remmington

In an academic assigment dubbed 'Plaats Delictcious' (combination of crimescenes and foodrecipes), one of the products was a Chocolate Colt Remmington. Only thing to say about it is that it tasted well enough to translate into a belly-ache.

Looks like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Ushanka (Russian fur hat)

Recycled a mink fur coat, because it'd probably only look good on a pimp so at least the Mrs. will be warm this winter. Yet again artsy/crafsty, but not shame whatsoever.

Looks like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Kaiser

blablabla... daysofyore... blablabla... blank

Looks like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Angel of something

This dates way back to days of yore, when mother dearest painstakingly gave me her Singer.

So here's a farty-craftsy stencil I did. I'll be politicaly correct and say no more.

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Coffee Bass

One findeth one box for coffee and one ripeth out one supportbeam out of the gardenfence. And taketh a rusty pipe and maketh a CoffeeBass.

It's still in progress (the comb needs to be mended and gotta shave some pegs), but it sure does look hella nifty (if I may so).

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Air Organ

For all you people would like a good old hurtin' once in a while.

Feast your eyes on a project I'd spent buckloads of time on for a project. Intentionally it had to become a windorgan, powered by a few HP engine to play on a metal fencing. Unfortunately I ran out of time (i didn't manage to deliver enough HP) and since I had to carry the damn thing, weighing in at a firm 150kg, on wheels, to school (2,5 kilometres), I left it a school and that why this project is marked: FAIL







My sincere apologies to Dion, why was going to play it at a performance, I WILL redeem myself!

Spray Paint'n

Yeah. That's the ticket!

All set up to survive.

Hankdrum: Finished

Bend, grind, smoothen, weld... sounds gay, sure as heck ain't!




(made out of: plumbing pipes, a butane tank and some rubber from a bikewheel)

Hankdrum: Progress Pics

For your entertainment, lovely ladies and or gentlepeople I wil now magically conjur up pictures of a butanetank turned into a lovely little 'hank-drum'


Analogue baby!

Moutharp First Version

With some stainless steel I (sort) managed to put together a big ass mouthharp. Had some issues with the fact that the metal bar I used was 6mm because the naturally didn't have 4 or 5 mm, but that doesn't really hurt anything. Only problem is the metal strip in between, done gon' be need'n sum springsteel, not this here floppy-ass stuff.



Ah well... it looks shiny.... (it's on a mirrorplate ;)

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Schaatsbaan (Ice rink) Rotterdam

A while back I took some pictures in an abandoned ice rink. After it was a rink, it was an improved go-cart track, and afterwards they changed it info a children's playground. Lucky for me the machineryroom suffered a nice little flood due to the huge cooling installation (for the rink of course).

Look like we got ourselves some catchin' up to do: Le pin du hole

Last year I made me a pinhole-camera (joy!) to try and get down some of the basics of photography (and to get a nice excuse to have a project to work on). Didn't use film, just straight onto photographic paper.

First try out was with an empty can of mashed tomatoes.




Le results:



Only well known problem is that if you make an image your have to take your closed container to wherever you chemicals are and THEN you can't print them.

So I made a large box that could fit 21,6 x 27,9 cm (8.5”x11”) paper and some sort of loading mechanism so I needn't walk back and forth to my Development Lab (=toilet).

And that worked!!!

-insert image cam-

...once (the paperloader kept on creating some kind of vaccuum so the pieces of paper kept clinging together)

At least I got some neat pictures out of it.





(the strange blue tone is due to the out-of-date chemicals that i used)
