Fotelj - sodko

    Kot mnogi vinogradniki in kletarji, sem tudi sam iz kleti umaknil lesene sode in jih nadomestill z nerjavečimi.  Kasneje mi je bilo sicer žal, saj menim, da je najboljše, da vino zori v hrastovih sodih.                                                                             

Sodov sem imel kar nekaj. V njih sem videl veliko vrednost, zato jih nisem zavrgel, nastal pa je problem s prostorom. Kam z vsemi sodi?

In nastala je IDEJA, da bi naredil fotelj.

Ponavadi, ko nekaj delaš prvič, ne veš kako in kje začeti. A malo po malo so ideje rastle in načrt za izvedbo je v glavi dozorel.

Fotelj iz soda s počivalnikom

Doge sem najprej obdelal-prebrusil in potem kos za kosom, dogo za dogo, sestavljal. Za udoben stol je zelo pomembna pravilna nastavitev višine sedala in kot naslona.  Povabil sem ženo, ki je kritično poročala o svojem počutju pri sedenju. Tako sem izdelal dva UDOBNA stola, katera svoje obiskovalce ne pustita ravnodušne. Ker sta narejena iz sodov, ki jih je izdelal še moj oče, imata zame še posebno, dodano vrednost.

Fotelj SODKO

Fotelj iz dog - SODKO

As many winemakers I also removed wooden barrels and replaced them with stainless ones. Later I was sorry about that, because I think that wine gets best while in oak barrels.

I had quite some of them. I saw some value in them so I didn't throw them away but the problem wuth space appeared – where to put them all?

And the idea came up – make a armchair.

Usually when you make something for the first time you don't really know where to start but ideas started to grow and finally I had a final plan.

First I grinded the staves and then piece by piece, stave by stave started putting them together. For a confortable sofa you need an appropriate height of seat and back. My wife also helped me with her critics about comfort.

So at the end I made two really confortable sofas. Visitors are always excited about them.

Because they are made from barrels, which were made by my father they have and extra special value.

FOTELJ iz hrastovega soda - SODKO

Izdelati sod je umetnost. Kot mlad fantič sem sprva opazoval očeta pri izdelavi sodov. Pravilno je znal izbrati les – hrast. Vsaka deščica – doga je bila prijeta in premaknjena večkrat. Ob sebi je imel skromna orodja a vseeno mu je vsakič ratal prekrasen sod. Kasneje sem mu tudi pomagal, a sem smel delati le lažja dela.

Od takrat naprej mi je les ostal v duši kot nekaj, kar da narava in kar lahko nastane nekaj naravnega. Sod, kad, lojek, pipa, mlin, preša… to je nekaj izdelkov za vinarstvo.

Zaradi vinarskega napredka shranjevanja vin v nerjavečih sodih, veliko ljudi stvarstva narave in človeka – sod, zavržejo. A to se da še lepo izkoristiti in dele oživiti.

Barrel making is an art. As a young boy I used to watch my father making them. You have to choose wood carefully, usually oak wood. Every little board – stave was touched and changed many times. He had very modest tools to work with but the barrels he made were always beautiful. While I grew older I used to help him, but only with easier jobs.

Since then wood stayed in my soul as something that nature gives you and you produce it to something very primal. For example products for winemaking: barrel, tub, pipe, mill, wine press...

Winemaking is developing everyday and today the wine is stored in stainless barrels which leads to throwing away wooden barrels. But they can be still reused and revived.

Enjoy whatching product from barrels.
