I built this book shelf when I was in Canada in 2011. It’s kinda where it all started. I wanted to build something from my own inspiration as I was very busy building stuff for other people and needed a project for myself to stay motivated. Not sure why I came up with a “bookshelf” but that’s what it was. All I wanted was that it was self supportive, no screws and no glue! The shelves are made out of red and yellow cedar and the tree stump base is out of the Maple tree. My friend had it laying around his house and when cleaned up, it suited my design perfectly. Loved the look of it.
When I was working on the base of my coffee table, made out of Oregon Pine, I got the idea for this “bookshelf”.
I thought I could use that 45 degree angle construction and make something bigger.
The base is made out of a single piece of pearwood. It was steamed thats why it has such a redish colour.
The 45 degree stem structure is made from Oregon Pine.
The shelves are made from the Platanus tree.
With thanks to Ajang Hamoni for the stainless steel work.
Me and a friend were playing with this little bluetooth speaker to try and enhance the sound.
After a couple of different objects I got the idea to make something out of wood. I had a few little bits of Oregon pine left from my Trippy Coffee table cut offs so I glued those together and rounded it off to what it is now.
The little ipod holder next to it is made from zinc with a 2 millimeter slice of Oregon pine on it. The base is made out of copper piping material.
This table is made out of a single piece of Platanus wood. The base is made out of central heating piping material.
I made this coat rack as I moved house and needed one.
Pretty much anything is possible shape wise. This one just suited my wall.
I built this for a friend of mine who asked if I could make something which was portable, easy to move and have “branches” to hang stuff off.
It was to be used at a party for young entrepreneurs who could hang cards on it with their creative ideas.
So this is what i came up with!

This coffee table is made out of Oregon Pine. I bought 4 pieces of about 60 by 90 cm before I even had an idea what to do.
When I saw the year rings I thought it would be nice to cut strips and glue them side by side to create a trippy effect.
When done with the top I used all the left overs to make the base. I glued those together to get some mass so it would support the top without tipping over.
Someone told me about this place which deals in 2nd hand building materials so I thought of creating something using old floor beams.
This creation is also self supportive when assembled, no glue or screws were used.
The floor beams came from demolished houses and have been given a new life.
I made this Magazine Rack for a friend in Canada.
Wanting some more seats in the waiting area of his practice the logical choice was to move the table.
Moving the table meant having to move the magazines so I came up with this solution.
The piece of wood I cut in half to function both sides of the rack is Maple. It came from the same tree as the base of the Self Supporting Bookshelf.
The rest is made out of a piece of 1/2 ” plywood. I added the 3/8 ‘s stainless round bar to hold back the magazines.
