Not a fan of carbon parts, but this piece (valve) saved my life 😊. Finally I had to take a year off metalwork, but saved up a few assignments for patient customers, so no time to get bored ! Looking forward to that, but easy does it...

I hope I have run out of bad luck for this year, and hopefully longer than that. After serious physical back issues early this year I got faced by some bacterial infection which led to irrepairable damage of my aortic heart valve. Open heart surgery was performed to replace it with a mechanical valve. Followed by 6 weeks of antibiotics via intravenous drip. Still in this phase, but fortunately I’m at home. Glad to be alive and amongst my family. But frustraded to be weary, tired and being capable of nothing. But I'm at peace with this, and hope to be back in a few months after my recovery. Take care. 🏥 🫀 #retroworks #designerfabricator #metalwork #aluminium #modernart #aluminiumwelding #welding #furniture #furnituredesign #customfurniture #design #interiordesign #custommade #bespoke #handmade #sculpture #art #artwork #ornamentalwork #industrial #industrialfurniture #sheetmetal #metalshaping #hangon

Happy bending day 🗜 . #retroworks #metalwork #bending #bend #tubebending #tooling #mandrelbent #handmade #designerfabricator #framework #bicyclebuilding #custommade #custom #handcrafted #dutch #design

A few years ago I made this prototype double tape dispenser, made out of a single piece of aluminium sheet. It was created using the oldschool craft metal spinning, and a bit of filing and cutting, no welding was involved ! . #retroworks #custommade #metalspinning #metalwork #tapedispenser #aluminium #metalshaping #design #designerfabricator #prototype #handmade #handcrafted #oldschool #custommadeinsteel #dutchdesign

A long-term tooling project: customer needed several odd-size thin-wall rectangle tubing bends (20x60mm). I made a set of external and internal bending mandrels, finally managed to get quality bends without wrinkles. 🏆 #retroworks #metalwork #bending #bend #tubebending #tooling #mandrelbent #handmade #designerfabricator #framework #bicyclebuilding #custommade #custom

Another project I did this summer for an interior store in Eindhoven. Radiator cover ‘boxes’, individually adjustable for a tight setup. Made from square perforated sheetmetal and angle iron, all powdercoated. Total display length is about 19 meters. #retroworks #welding #bending #storeinterior #radiatorcover #metalwork #industrial #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #handmade #custommade #designerfabricator #dutchdesign

Refurbished classic office chair. After 25 years of daily use the aluminium needed some attention. After a thorough treatment this one is as good as new. #retroworks #eames #eamesofficechair #charleseames #refurbished #aluminium #polished #mirrorpolish #designerfabricator #classic #classicfurniture

Finally completed the vintage iron staircase with a handrail and 'prison bars' to protect the kids. Three oak shelves complete the assignment. . . #retroworks #welding #metalwork #staircase #spiralstaircase #vintageindustrial #industrial #vintage #vintagestyle #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #lasercut #oak #handmade #custommade #designerfabricator #dutchdesign #oak #shelves

After a few hundred test km's the customer decided he needed more ground clearance, and not mess up the design too much. Inserted a pie cut to fix this quick and dirty. Stainless steel, raw finish. #retroworks #caferacer #scrambler #bratstyle #yamaha #tr1 #xv920 #xv1000 #custom #custommade #motorcycle #custombike #caferacersofinstagram #croig #metalwork #caferacerxxx #tigwelding #welding #exhaust #stainlesssteel #handmade #custommotorcycle #designerfabricator #custommadeinsteel

Spiral staircase continued - details of the straight handrail. Simple form with a vintage texture. . #retroworks #handmade #custommade #custommadeinsteel #designerfabricator #metalwork #welding #handrail #staircase #vintageindustrial #vintagestyle #interior #interiordesign #dutch #dutchdesign #texture

I hope this old lady can do some work for me in the near future. Semi-automatic mandrel pipe bending machine 'machine à cintrer'. Could be useful for exhaustwork etc. . #retroworks #vintage #vintageindustrial #vintagemachinery #oldschool #bending #pipebender #exhaustwork

Some more details of the staircase; it's only mounted on the top, ceiling and wall because of the floor heating (no drilling allowed). #retroworks #welding #metalwork #staircase #spiralstaircase #vintageindustrial #industrial #vintage #vintagestyle #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #lasercut #oak #handmade #custommade #designerfabricator #dutchdesign

A few years ago I made this custom staircase for a very nice appartment in downtown Utrecht, which is now featured again in leading dutch interior magazine Eigen Huis & Interieur. #proudagain #retroworks #interior #interiordesign #staircase #steel #metalwork #industrial #industrialdesign #custommade #handmade #eigenhuiseninterieur #design #designerfabricator

Another view from the top of the staircase, it curves 3/8 turn to clear the doorway. #retroworks #welding #metalwork #staircase #spiralstaircase #vintageindustrial #industrial #vintage #vintagestyle #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #lasercut #rolling #bending #proud #oak #slabs

Proud of this result; a perfect fit. Vintage style industrial spiral staircase, followed by a straight section. The steps are covered with solid oak slabs. All connections are bolted together. After the holidays we'll make a nice handrail. . #retroworks #welding #metalwork #staircase #spiralstaircase #vintageindustrial #industrial #vintage #vintagestyle #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #lasercut #rolling #bending #proud #oak #slabs

Working on details for the vintage staircase: used the needle hammer for a castiron look and feel. Tomorrow I will post the end result. . #retroworks #welding #metalwork #staircase #vintageindustrial #industrial #vintage #vintagestyle #steel #design #interior #interiordesign #lasercut #rolling #bending
