My latest projects
A couple of pictures. The first one: a rose window reconstruction (original made 1890s but burned in 1960s) 120cm in diameter, no glue used.
And next one: shingle work of an Orthodox cross (or actually the base of the cross) This is my final project in school so I'm graduating at the end of this month (if things go right.)

Nice work
Greenie on the way, and BTW there are plenty of jobs for talented tradesmen in Australia - so if you are thinking of emigrating, think of this place because we can't have enough people who can do that quality of work....

Thank you for the comments. These two projects have been my favourite ones during these three years in school. The window will be soon installed to it's place, the factory museun of Verla located here in Finland. I also made two plain windows with straight frames.

Very nice work, and good luck with your graduation.

Wowseroonies! Great work 1by. It must be a great school you go to that teaches you to do that. Which school is it?
The design and execution of both pieces are superb. No glue for the first ... so, how is it held together? Could you explain a bit about its construction? (and for the shingle piece?)
Hmm...your name...the dimensions of the star-gate monolith, continuing on to higher dimensions 16by25by36...?Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Hi 1x4x9,
Lovely pictures and look at the hair.
I like the wheel and the vase is nice too. They look pretty hard to build. Good work my friend.
Oh welcome to the forum.

Strewth! Stay in school - we don't need anyone who can show us up that badly!
(Hope tongue-in-cheek translates into Finnish properly)
Bloody nice work - would love to see some more, and also any in-progress shots (might have a chance to learn something here!)
From the look of the work, you must be using Triton
