Wooden hinge with bentwood rings. Same pieces as before, just in the twisted version. Just imagine one part to be part of a box, the other part of the lid. #woodenhinges #metalfree #bentwoodrings #kunsthandwerk #playdays
Exploring wooden hinges that utilize bentwood rings as guiding elements. After making Robs @robcosman_handtoolwoodworking wood hinge boxes I asked, if bentwood rings could be part of the hinge mechanism of a box with a lid. That's a first take at that idea with crap pieces and rings. Still some issues with squeaking but once glued…
Cufflinks from cherry, smoked oak, walnut and eukalyptus. Quite a few but I'm all OK with that. #cufflinks #manschettenknöpfe #marquetry #handmadeinberlin #holzschmuck
Inverse bentwood rings from walnut and curly maple. Both are made from the same pieces of wood and match each other's skin and hair tone. What a beautiful choice. Thank you, Allan and Bud _/\_ #bentwoodrings #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk #holzschmuck #holzring
Cufflinks from olive wood. Made from a solid piece with only an added back piece to encapsulate the 10mm mounting plate the hardware comes with. This way I'm confident that it'll never come out. #cufflinks #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk #manschettenknöpfe #holzschmuck
Bentwood rings with marquetry. The base ring is from walnut, the marquetry from cherry, rosewood and maple. #bentwoodrings #handmadeinberlin #holzschmuck #holzring #kunsthandwerk
Cufflinks from olive wood. This second version has fully embedded metal parts, which makes them indestructible. The outer bentwood rings have a recess that take the middle pieces and make sure, they're never gonna come out again. #cufflinks #woodenjewelry #woodenaccessories #bentwoodrings #handmadeinberlin
Cufflinks in oak. ✨ Any wood species is possible and you can even choose different ones for the outer ring and the inner filling. It's the perfect match for wooden wedding rings. 🤵👰 #cufflinks #bentwoodrings #holzschmuck #woodenjewelry #Holzhandwerk
Bentwood rings from lemon wood, ordered yesterday, shipped today. The process of building bentwood rings got so sophisticated over the years that even urgent orders can be fulfilled without even hurrying. #bentwoodrings #holzschmuck #woodenjewelry #eheringe #weddingring
Dancing rings in rosewood, maple and mahogany in a base made from bubinga. An internal thread tensioner allows for far less weight on the ends so went with wooden rings from oak this time and it turned out beautifully. Swapped the transparent thread for a black one that is way stronger and is not prone…
Pearl-Upgrade for the tuna swarm version of the tuning ring installation. Since this version doesn't need the weights to work properly, they were replaced by a pear. Just as the others, it can be fixed to any wall that holds a screw. #handmadeinberlin #kineticart #kinetischekunst #kunsthandwerk #bentwoodrings
Dancing ellipses made from maple, padouk and eukalyptus. This version turned out beautiful with its new fillings in the smaller rings. Check out the other reels with similar wooden kinetic installations to find out more how it's made and how it works. #kineticart #artinstalation #handmadeinberlin #bentwoodring #kunsthandwerk
Small differences can have a huge impact. The benefit of winding up the wooden rings is its reduced wall thickness that allows the hand to still freely close without interference and letting fingers spread apart. Long lasting, super strong rings can have a wall thickness of down to 2mm - considerably smaller than a ring…
Bentwood ring made from smoked oak, maple and an inlay from malachite. #bentwoodring #handmadeinberlin #holzring #kunsthandwerk #holzschmuck
Bentwood ring from smoked oak and maple with an inlay out of malachite. The natural, green malachite matches with the rich brown of the smoked oak and the light maple perfectly. #bentwoodring #holzring #handmadeinberlin #holzschmuck #bloateliers
Kinetic installation "Tuna" made from smoked Oak, Walnut, Maple and Rosewood with inlays from Limba. In this version the outer ring is fixed to the base, giving the spinning ring inside a nice and steady frame and hiding the actuating string at the same time. What an upgrade 🫶 #kineticart #kinetischekunst #handmadeinberlin #bentwoodring #holzkunst
Swarm of tuna in a kinetic wooden pendant from Walnut. Maple, Rosewood and Limba. Did you know that tuna breath differently than most other fish. As a result, they can't stop swimming- they have to go on and on. #kineticjewellery #woodenjewelry #holzschmuck #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk
Making bentwood rings waterproof without a finish on the surface was the subject of this test. 4 Bentwood rings from rosewood, two glued with CA, two with PVA glue. One of each became vacuum and high pressure treatment with hot beeswax. All were partially submerged under water (to make it even harder) and exposed to…
Bentwood rings from Cherry and Smoked Oak. The inverse pairs are just such a nice option so that each partner can enjoy their own favorite wood species with their unique look and still are connected to the other by the same pame pieces of wood.. 🫶 #bentwoodrings #holzring #eheringe #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk
Bentwood rings from locally growing Cherry and Smoked Oak. Sometimes partners feel comfortable with different wood species and in this case I like to offer the option to make inverse rings from the two species so that each one can enjoy their preferred look and feel tied together nevertheless by wearing their partners favorite wood…
Bentwood rings from smoked Oak with an inlay from leaf gold. The combination is just fabulous and I love how they turned out 🫶 #weddingring #eheringe #holzring #holzschmuck #handmadeinberlin
Bentwood rings from smoked Oak with an inlay from leaf gold. The position of the inlay in the smaller ring is centered, in the bigger one offset to the side intentionally. This way both rings are made from the same piece and material and still have their own, unique character. Somehow, just like ourselves. #bentwoodring…
Dancing fan in Oak and Maple. #kineticart #kinetischekunst #kunstinstallation #kunsthandwerk #handmadeinberlin
Dancing tuna swarm in Rosewood, Oak and Maple. This is just a mockup. The outer Ring will be a single piece, have no grooves and will be part of the base. It's always helpful to visualize ideas with mockups to get a sense of proportions, sizes and wood species. #bentwoodring #kinetischekunst #kineticart #handmadeinberlin #kunstinstallation
Just playing. Reminds me of cyclodial drive. #bentwoodring #playtime #kunsthandwerk
Ring from Mahogany, one of the woods with the most chatoyance. I really like this wood since it was so abundant in furniture making that there are so many offcuts available, which these rings are made from. The bentwood building process makes them super strong, the carefully applied finish gives protection and deep shine. #bentwoodrings…
Ellipse in ellipse. "Encase it" was one of the comments from a previous reel and I played around with that idea. This is what I came up with. #woodenart #bentwoodring #handmadeinberlin #kineticart #kinetischekunst
Wooden kinetic art installation. It's the same combination from a few days back but with both sides having the same turning direction. It's a mesmerizing effect as well. Still playing around with different shapes, strings, weights, holes, ... Therefore no plans, no tutorials, nothing to sell. Just here for the joy in playing. #woodenart #kineticart…
Bentwood Ring from Ash- one of the beautiful locally growing hardwoods. 🫶 #sustainablefashion #holzschmuck #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk #bentwoodrings
Improvements by accident. Did you ever accidentally break something and later found out that it works better this way? That's what happened here. The string splitting the wood in the base slightly resulted in smaller weights needed and an overall better and smoother action. If you want to find out how it works take a…
New version of the "Dancing Rings". The idea was inspired by a comment either on *nsta or Facebook that suggested this pattern. So I tried and here it is... The wooden kinetic art installations all base on a string driven design, that actuates the rings. It consists of the 5 bentwood rings, the base and…
Now on any wall near you. The new way of screwing the wooden kinetic art installation to any wall uses a modified #festooldomino and a single screw. This makes Installationen a breeze. #woodenart #kineticart #kunsthandwerk #handmadeinberlin
A modified Festool Domino makes it possible, to easily mount the wooden kinetic art installation on any wall that holds a screw. What a win 🤗 #festooldomino #bentwoodring #woodenart #kineticart #kinetischekunst
No AI, no video trick - just 4 bentwood rings, a base and a string - that's all it needs for this little wooden art installation to transform your pull into a magic dance. 🌀 Made as a screw on version for any wall that holds a screw. Instead of the previous magnetic versions this…
What a month @ WerksAtelier 🫶 Thank you for your support and encouragement - it's been an amazing month with so many new ideas some of which wouldn't be here without our exchange and your thoughts. Thank you! #handmadeinberlin #bentwoodring #kunsthandwerk #woodinstallation #woodenart
4 wooden rings, one base and a string - all it takes to make this small wooden installation, that automatically pulls attention. To me it's feels mesmerizing and I have so much fun to play with- even knowing how it works. Currently I'm actually thinking of making a few since people start asking. You can…
Dancing partial ellipse made from satin walnut. The ellipse is made as a bentwood lamination from 7 layers resulting in a quite strong part. The base is from mahogany in the screw on type and for this object too small. But I like that the string driven idea works with so many different objects and…
Bentwood "rings" dancing. These forms are made with the same technique like the cylindrical rings - just an elliptical and triangle shape. This example makes clear that not all shapes are made to dance well with another - aesthetically. So there is still a vast field to play and have fun with different shapes, sizes…
3 wooden rings, dancing. The possibilities are where endless when combining the bentwood rings or forms of all sorts with the string actuated principle - especially with the new version, which turns in different directions. In this case the 3 rings are old buddies from the turning rung pendant in previous posts. The inside is…
No AI, no video trick - just a string and a few pieces of wood make this immersive installation possible. I like the simplicity and that the viewer can actually see and figure out how it works. The base is from a mahogany offcut that was rescued from the fire bin. The bentwood rings are…
Kinetic wooden installation with two ellipses from mahogany and limba. It's more a proof of concept for the opposite turning direction with just a single string. At the same time it's the first screw on version so it's not made with magnets holding the base like the versions before. As a result, the installation doesn't…
40 Maple inlays in a rosewood ring. The strong contrast between the dark rosewood and the light maple makes some of the tiny details visible in the first place. The smallest dots have a diameter of just 0.5 mm (or 19 thou). 🧐 The hand-carved, variable width is super comfortable to wear since it has…
No Ai, no video trick! Dancing Ellipse in quilted maple on a base from mahogany. It's actuated by pulling on one of the two ends with the weights attached. Love the simplicity and stunning effect of this small installation. Next is to build a permanent screw on the wall version, since I don't have no…
Alles bereit zum Tag der offenen Tür unter dem Motto "Tag der Offenen Zukunft" morgen ( Samstag, den 13.06.) in den BLO-Ateliers. 14-20 Uhr bin ich vor Ort und freue mich auf wundervolle Begegnungen. #bloateliers #tagderoffenentür #subkultur
A window decoration with a twist This sketchy improvised setup is just to show the idea of how to use the spinning pendant as a window installation. Still need to figure out a way to install the string close to the glass without using tape. 🙈 For a rough shot, I call it beautiful. The…
Dancing ellipse made from Mahogany and Limba. I love the simplicity and smooth run. The grey Limba and the reddish Mahogany are a nice match . The whole assembly consists just out of the base with integrated magnets, the ellipse and a string with a weight on each end. The small Ring and the little…
Diesen Samstag im BLO: Tag der offenen Tür unter dem Motto "Tag der offenen Zukunft". Kommt vorbei für tolle Unterhaltung, Workshops, Kinderprogramm, Konzerten, kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten.... Auch das WerksAtelier hat seine Tür geöffnet und ich freue mich auf Euren Besuch. 🤗 #bloateliers #tagderoffenentür #berlinkultur #künstlergemeinschaft #eintrittfrei
Riegelahorn und Eiche. Der Riegelahorn mit seiner feinen Struktur quer zur Fahrtrichtung ist eines der schönsten, hellen Hölzer in meinem Repertoire. Leider sind es die letzten ihrer Art, da es vorerst die letzten beiden Stücke waren. #holzring #bentwoodring #holzschmuck #kunsthandwerk #handmadeinberlin
No Ai, no video trick 🪄 Another dancing ellipse out of plane and maple. The inner parts are from padouk and maple. From my small steps into making japanese Kumiko I liked the concept of just fitting parts so tightly in a frame that they hold just by themselves. So that's what you can see…
Ellipse aus Ahorn und Platane. Die Form ist im Vergleich zum vorherigen Versuch etwas kleiner und "bauchiger". Die feine Zeichnung der Platane mit ihrer intensiven Tiefenschimmer mag ich sehr. #handmadeinberlin #holzschmuck #bentwoodring
Keine KI, kein Trick. Die neue Ellipsenform beim Tanz. Die ist aus Ahorn (hell) und Padouk (rot) angefertigt, die Basis ist aus Douglasie und hat im Rücken eingelassene Magnete. #kinetischekunst #holzinstallation #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk
Die richtige Kombination von Hölzern für ein ganz besonderes Schmuckstück zu finden, geht bei mir oft über den Versuch. Ich mag beide Varianten. #holzring #bentwoodring #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk #holzschmuck
Eine meiner besten Anschaffungen für die Werkstatt bisher? Mein alter CR10s 3D Drucker. Er drückt auch nach vielen Jahren noch tadellos und ermöglicht so immer wieder Lego mit eigens erdachten Steinen. Gerade für Formensätze wie hier ist das sehr hilfreich. So können mit relativ wenig Platz-, Zeit- und Ressourcenbedarf ganze Werkzeugsätze in verschiedenen und vor…
Die Form wieder aus dem fertigen Rohling zu bekommen, ohne sie dabei zu zerstören, ist mit einem Formensatz möglich. Form, Basis, Abdrücker und Zentrierring sind sorgfältig aufeinander abgestimmt, so dass sie exakt übereinander positioniert werden können. Anschließend wird der Rohling mit Hilfe einer Presse vom Kern gedrückt. Die Einzelteile des Formensatzes sind 3D gedruckt und…
Ein tanzender "Ring" aus Rosenholz und Ahorn. Die Formverleimung mit ihrer 7nidirwktiinalen Faserausrichtung verleiht dem "Ring" trotz seiner lediglich 2mm Wandstärke eine unglaubliche Stabilität und Belastbarkeit. #bentwoodring #holzkunst #kunsthandwerk #handmadeinberlin #handgefertigt
Eine Kombination aus vorherigen Spielereien zu etwas ganz eigenem. Die Ringe sind aus Vogelaugenahorn, Rosenholz, Platane und geräucherter Eiche. Die Vögel im Inneren sind als Inlays in anderen Hölzern angefertigt. Das ganze läuft noch nicht ganz rund - macht nichts, trotzdem schon eine Freude wert. #holzkunst #kinetischekunst #handmadeinberlin
Kleines Amulett – große Bedeutung. ✨ Handgefertigt aus Rosenholz, bietet dieses Schmuckstück im Inneren Platz für ein ganz persönliches Andenken, ein Erinnerungsstück oder Asche. Es lädt dich ein, die damit verbundenen Gedanken und Wünsche ganz nah bei dir zu tragen und dich im Alltag immer wieder daran zu erinnern. Erhältlich in verschiedenen edlen Hölzern, hier…
Ein Medley der tanzenden Ringe. Es ist mir eine große Freude, diese kleine Installationen zu gestalten. Sie zaubern jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. 🫶 Und was gibt es zauberhafteres zu geben als ein Lächeln? #holzkunst #holzinstallation #handmadeinberlin #kunsthandwerk #bentwoodrings
