Gallery – Custom Projects

Swiss Army Knife Personal project. Came across a perfectly good little pocket knife but the plastic casing was damaged. Perfect opportunity for upcycling . . .
Salad Tongs Tongs? Claws? Forks? I just like using them, and have had made a couple of custom projects.
Salad Claws These were a special request from Fiona - she wanted something different, and I always liked our salad claws, so suggested a variation with a band of skateboard decks.
Wall Clock
Cast Iron Skillet Handle
Key Chain Random decks glued together, and then sliced against the ply - love this effect, but heaps of work. Anyone want a $50 keychain? 😉
Tealight holder This took me a ridiculous amount of time to create, but I loved making it. Have already figured out how I could make it much more easily, but that is part of how I like to work . . . start out, and see where it takes me, and find out what I can learn from the creative process.
Cutting Board, spreaders, and free form spatula I had made an organically shaped spatula before, and everyone always seemed to want that one as it sits really well in the hand, so once again I figured skateboard decks could only make the idea better.
Chopsticks The chopsticks were the custom project. However if you wanted to buy soup, I guess I could do that too!?
Megs' Gearshift Knob, and matching keychain For my cousin Meaghan - had to find just the right skateboard deck that included her fave colours, orange and blue.
