A Space for wood crafts — Crowdfunding on wemakeit

Woodturning – a craft that has become rare. I am grateful to have learned it and want to give it more visibility. In a prime location in Bern's old town, I have now the opportunity to do so.

Quelle belle idée de travailler avec du bois destiné à être brûlé! Et quels résultats! J’admire et ça me réjouit!

Je trouve important de soutenir votre projet qui consiste à transmettre au public le savoir de votre métier artisanal qui valorise la beauté du bois, ce d’autant que mon épouse prévoit à sa retraite de se former dans le tournage sur bois.

Dein Projekt gefällt uns – und gehört daher momentan zur Kategorie «Unsere Lieblinge»! Für die nächsten Tage erscheint es auf der Startseite und in der Kategorie «Empfohlene».
Ein guter Grund, ein bisschen stolz zu sein und es allen zu erzählen: Verfasse ein Update oder einen Post!

What appeals to me is combining the ancient craft of woodturning with product design and exploring new possibilities. I primarily work with wood that is generated as offcuts in woodworking companies or that does not meet quality criteria and would otherwise end up as firewood.
