Vinyl Parquet Ping Pong Rackets!!

There's a Pub they say across the street of Järntorget, where you can drink beer and play Ping Pong at the same time. But it's only during the Mondays, or I think so?It's really funny and there is a lot of people playing. But every time we got there, there is no more rackets to rent. So I made our own...With vinyls parquet rejects. Took me long time to find the material.
And now the pub is closed. Just the day before I was done. The one with a hole is cause:

"I missed cause there's a hole in my racket that's why!"

I even did ping pong balls. We tried them one night, they work but they are kind of dangerous.

Wood Carving



Here is some of my work on woodcarving,
All of this is made with scrap wood.
Sorry didn't take picture of all my works. and all my work is
disperse all around the world.

12" spoon made of poplar.

I liked so much the feeling of touching wood that I covered my mouse with wood and it work well.
 
 Crochet hook for Leah.
(Bamboo from chopstick and pine for the large one)

 Twisted wood...that's how strong I am!

 My spoons made of American Holy found on pallets.
Ustenciles made of Pine. You can only eat mash potatoes with it!

I'm out of tools so I can't carve for now.

Cardboard Night Table that looks like a washing machine.

The idea comes from, needed a night table but didn't know what design to make until I saw my washing machine. why not?...This took me 3 days, 6 double ply  120x80 cm cardboard from IKEA, one news paper, 500ml of vinyl glue, and 400ml of white paint. The upper part is a draw, and the lower part is a storage place. The door is just decorative and useless, it's removable. The size of the night table is 40x40x50cm.






  Over the skeleton I glue two pieces of cardboard on each side to give it strength. 


 
The draw is build after so I can make better mesure than theoretical.
Then I glue the news paper all over with white glue and water.



















And then I paint it in white, the circular inside in black, and make a freestyle in the draw.




It's really steady, the top can hole a lot of weight, You could sit on it but you would flatten and deform the top ply. And if it get wet it will be destroyed, but it's really light.
