For my post this week I want to share a really awesome artist/creator with you. One of my favorite magazines/podcasts is the MAKE Magazine. IF you are not familiar with it, these are people who create, craft and invent things from ordinary household items and make some amazing stuff. You can find them at the website http://makezine.com/.
Anyway I digress, Two talented woodworkers/artists created for the Maker Faire in San Francisco a wooden bicycle frame made from a tree felled in the urban forest. That's right, I said a wooden bicycle frame. Really a neat roject. While I am sure I could not do anything remotely close to this (except maybe for felling the tree). I think I could come up with some pretty cool looking wooden handle bars! What makes this project so cool is that the bike...really...works!
Check out their project:
Hi, Chris I love the video about how they made a bike from a tree. The wood looks beautifully carved and has a nice look to it. It could be put in an exhibit. I know you like making things to because I love how you made those nice wands.You are very creative yourself. You could go into the wood making business and be very profitable. I bet you could make a bike like that in time.
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love to have a bike like this! It is amazing what some people do with their God given talents. Whoever would have thought that you could make a bike from a tree? Apparently this guy did. My mom always told us that "you can do anything you put your mind to", and she is absolutely right!
