Once again, I immersed myself in a new project for several weeks. I love challenges where I create something entirely new through trial and error. This time, I worked on the “Melodie bliskości” sign, made as a special order for Dominika. The project required a lot of experimentation with a new material and learning a…

The Christmas markets are now behind us, and it’s the perfect time for a short recap. The new year is just around the corner, yet I’m still reflecting on my recent presentations at two holiday fairs. The atmosphere was truly special, and the conversations with visitors gave me plenty of inspiration for the future. However,…

In six weeks, it’ll be Christmas.My workshop is buzzing with work on projects I want to showcase and sell online and at Christmas markets.I’ve booked stalls at two locations, both organized by the Hobbykënschtler Lëtzebuerg asbl association. The first market will be at Ste. Elisabeth am Park in Luxembourg, and the second one at the…

Autumn is in full swing outside, and I’m getting ready to participate in Christmas markets.In December, I will be presenting my works at two locations.In addition to the typical holiday items, I have initially prepared 5 new designs with these events in mind. I hope they will appeal to the visitors of these markets. I…

A few days have passed since I presented my work at the 3rd Hobbynuetsmaart in Esch/Sauer. I am very satisfied. The preparations were quite demanding, but the final result made it all worthwhile. This event brought together almost 100 exhibitors from various crafts. That’s why I’m proud that I was able to be a part…

It’s happening this coming weekend: the 3rd Hobbynuetsmaart in Esch/Sauer. It’s a beautiful event in my beloved town. Last year I was there as a tourist; this time, I’ll be an exhibitor. I’ve already set up my tent in the garden for a test run. I’ve also made a few new key cabinets. Keep your…

This is a fresh model of key cabinets. The design and colors refer to the Provençal style, hence the working name “Provence”. For the first time, I am combining wooden elements with paper prints typically used for decoupage techniques. The new key cabinets are slightly larger than previous designs. The dimensions are 37 x 23…

This is a project that is a new version of a shelf made a few years ago. The previous one was made of beech wood. The one I’m presenting here is made of oak wood and has slightly modified dimensions. It required me to use boards of an unusual thickness. Oak wood has a very…

The oak project was being developed from autumn to spring with a short break and has its own story. In September, I signed up for a woodworking course. The idea was to delve into the secrets of wood processing, including CNC machine operation. In practice, it involved participants of the course working on their own…

My debut behind the counter at Fréijoersmaart 2024 is now history. It’s been a new, wonderful experience. There was a lot of preparation, though honestly, I didn’t have high sales expectations. The most important thing for me was to establish myself in this new role and see if this form of reaching customers suits me….

I was asked to create a commemorative figure of a bear family from a piece of wood according to the provided pattern. It’s a very charming project. I used a sturdy 30-millimeter oak board for it. In the process, I had the opportunity to test how a laser behaves when attempting to cut such a…

Today, I’ll describe an extraordinary project I’ve been working on recently. In celebration of the anniversary of the Cultural Center, I was commissioned to create 300 bookmarks crafted from precisely cut MDF. It was a real challenge and, at the same time, my first colossal order! 💼✨ This project required the use of advanced tools,…

This extraordinary work of art was designed to bring a unique charm and elegance to the photography studio. A special feature of this…

For me, as an amateur carpenter, creating such beautiful numbers from softwood was no small challenge. However, I managed to achieve a wonderful effect that will undoubtedly be appreciated by anyone who sees them in person. The material for numbers 0 to 9 is softwood. Custom-made for the photography studio https://www.joannahudyka.com/, these numbers are characterized…

Today, I would like to introduce you to my latest pride and joy – the Shelf S cabinet. This is a piece of furniture that I designed and crafted using a CNC machine. It is a cabinet with three shelves, made of thick 8mm plywood. What sets it apart? Primarily, the intricate pattern milled on…

I want to expand my offering of small, practical items. The first realized idea is another design of a key box. The construction is simpler than the original version. Here, the entire front part was processed using CNC. The box is stained in two colors. I may change this depending on the needs, but I…

Many times, people look in different parts of the house for things that are linked by shared stories or memories. And yet you can collect them in one elegant place. A wooden box can be such a place. It can of course be engraved with any text that you would want. You can also add…

There is a lot of charm in simplicity. Friends asked me for such a simple yet essential element for home furnishings. The shape of a rooster was also their wish. I think it’s a successful idea for a small gift.

Two stools to put at the entrance to the house. They are of different heights. Thanks to this, you can slide one under the other to save space. Stool tops are made of teak wood. I bought such ready-made elements cheaply in the Action store. I used ordinary softwood for the legs. They are glued…

The Mandala table starts a new direction in my projects. A large part of the work is a graphic design made in Inkscape and the subsequent use of a CNC milling machine. Of course, the structure of the table itself, i.e. the sides and legs, is typically carpentry work, but the mandala pattern inside is…

This project is a test of strength with laser engraving. It took me the most of work to set up the vector graphics in order to achieve the most interesting print. Uses the Lightburn program to work with the laser. It gives very large possibilities of image transformation, choice of power, etc. However, despite this,…

I received a typical carpentry order. After a long time of creating objects using a laser or CNC, here I used saws, planers, drills, Proxxon tools and grinders etc. Typical work with boards. There were some obstacles. The price of wood has recently increased significantly and, in order to save money and not to put…

Today I will describe my achievements in an area that differs slightly from typical carpentry work. In addition to tables, small furniture, lamps, trays, etc., I also deal with projects related to toys, souvenirs and small items that are commissioned to me or are fully my ideas. I have been doing this for a long…
