Many years ago, lack of funds prompted some friends and I to make a foray into the world of home brew. Many litres of beer were produced for not very much money, which worked out great for us as poor students. I can’t make any great claims about the quality, but it was real beer. […]
It’s time for White Dino-Might to move out. Or perhaps I should say, it’s getting close to that time. As much fun as it’s been driving him around to places to show off, I think he now needs to make his own way in the world. Dinosaurs grow up so fast <sniff> 😉 So, I’ve […]
I’ve put up some pictures of the Galleon brazier/BBQ. I’ve named it the B’arrrrr B Q. You can find them in the gallery.
The 16th century style galleon brazier/charcoal BBQ is finished. The weather has been somewhat inclement around here lately. I’m waiting for a nice day and early evening to take some decent photos of it in a nice setting. However, here is a sneak peek photo to give you some idea of what it looks like.
I have a brazier sitting on my deck, but it’s not fancy or cool. I also have a BBQ, and while I believe it to be fancy and cool, it’s gas. I’ve been informed that charcoal BBQ’s can produce wonderful tasting food. So, I decided to build something that could function as both a fancy […]
This week just gone I had to work out of Dunedin for a few days. While I was there, I took the opportunity to go and visit a few galleries in the city centre. While visiting the Quadrant Gallery, I had the pleasure to meet, and spend several hours talking to one of the owners, David Mcleod. David was […]
A few months back, I managed to acquire a non-functioning plasma cutter for a small amount via TradeMe. It was an older Italian made unit. Telwin is the brand. I managed to get hold of the schematics directly from the Telwin HQ in Italy by means of a somewhat lengthy email conversation, carried out in […]
An update? Really? Lets see now. I have in fact finish the dinosaur skeleton. He’s the biggest sculpture I’ve made so far. I was also invited to exhibit some work in the Kings College Fine Art Sale in November last year. I took the opportunity to show off the newly finished Dino, and a few […]
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had taken a piece out to the forest near Hunua to take some photos (with help of course). Now that the sculpture has been presented to its happy new owner, I can post some of those shots. Here, and here, are two of the pictures that I […]
This Saturday just gone I (along with two tireless helpers) transported my sculpture, An Instance of Flame, up to Tawharanui. TOSSI (The Tawharanui Open Sanctuary Society Inc.) has their biennial Art in the Woolshed exhibition. It runs from the 10th – 18th of March. This is my first exhibition, and all works up there are […]
