TROSED Suzy

Ostalo mi je nekaj polovičnih dog iz Ormoža, ki sva jih pripeljala s Cirilom. Pokazala se je priložnost in naredil TROSED za Suzy, ki je praznovala okroglo obletnico. Pa ne bom napisal koliko...

TROSED

DRVArnica - SODKO

Zime je konec. Sedaj je čas priprave drv za naslednjo kurilno sezono.

Preko zime smo v kmečki sobi postavili kamin.
Dobil sem idejo, da izdelam stojalo za drva, katero sem
poimenoval DRVARN'CA. Ogrodje je izdelano iz obročev soda. Za zvijanje okroglih delov, sem izdelal pripravo. Leseni del pa je izdelani iz dog čebrice - so ravne. 

DRVARN'CA je primerna za shranjevanje drv ob kaminu, lahko pa se uporabi za nošenje drv iz drvarnice do kamina.

Winter is ower and it's time for wood chopping and storing.

This winter we made a fireplace in our 'farm room'. I got an idea to make a basket for firewood which I named DRVARN'CA (woodshed). Frame is made out of rings of barrels. I acually made a little device myself to twist this rings. The wooden part is out of staves – but they have to be very straight.

DRVARN'CA is appropriate for saving the firewood and also for carrying them from woodshed to the fireplace.

BARski STOL - SODKO

Moja nečakinja Anja ustvarja izdelke iz gline in jih na različnih umetniških delavnicah ali razstavah tudi prodaja. Da bi jo manj bolele noge, sem ji izdelal barski stolček, da se lahko med prodajo nanj nasloni in odpočije.
Žal pa je Anja sedaj v Amsterdamu in da tam nima barskega stolčka.

Mi je rekla: "Ko boš prišel na obisk v Amsterdam, mi ga boš pripeljal."

My niece Anja makes cups and different things out of clay and she also sells them on different fairs and exhibitions. I made her a bar stool so she would be able to rest a bit.

But sadly Anja left in Amsterdam and she couldn't take it with her.

She said to me: »When you will come visit me in Amsterdam, you will bring it to me.«

Mizica - SODKO

Klubska mizica

Mizica iz soda-s poličko

Do sedaj sem predstavil SODKO fotelj, ki je sestavljen iz hrastovih dog soda. Da bi izkoristil (recikliral) vse dele razstavljenega soda, sem si zamislil izdelati klubsko mizico iz dna in pokrova soda. Klubska mizica ima standardno višino. Premer je odvisen od velikosti soda. 

Naletel sem na dva problema.

Prvi je, da je pokrova običajno neraven. Če ga preveč obdelam izgubim lepo patino, zato na eni od slik vidite svetel pas na sredini mizice.

Drugi pa je kako zapolniti izrezano luknjo vratic na pokrovu. Iz obroča soda sem izdelal "mrežasto poličko", v katero se lahko da ohlajeno buteljko-recimo .

Till now I introduced you to SODKO armchair, which was made out of oak staves. To recycle all parts of a barrel I decided to make also a club table from top and bottom ob barrel.

But I came across two problems. First one is that top of a barrel is usually uneven. If I change it too much then I will loose a nice patina. That's why you can see on one of the tables a light line in the middle of the table. And secondly how can you fill in the hole on the doors of a barrel.

But with help of a net I changed it to a place to put a bottle of wine. 

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.

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.

Uživajte ob gledanju umetnin iz hrastovih sodov…

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.
