My Sister's alarm clock

This is the clock I made for my sister (Sue) for Xmas.  I made it from a discarded pallet.

The Markets

The weather held off, however the markets were very quiet.  The girls said that there was a lot of positive feedback. I would like to officially thank Tash, Simon and Elisha for all of their support to make this happen. I would also like to thank everyone for encouraging me to do something with all this stuff!

When an ardent environmentalist inherits a workshop of tools, a spark is lit, igniting his creativity, he transforms, what most consider obsolete or useless junk into useful household items  and beautiful, wearable art.

With patience and a quiet determination to make a difference, Duncan finds discarded timber, unwanted computers and other unused items bound for landfill.  He works to convert them into a collection of intricate components ready for repurposing and transforms the growing collection of materials into handcrafted, one-of-a-kind designs.

Making good use of the things that he finds, Duncan’s love of the craft, recycling and encouragement from family and friends has led to an amazing assortment of items today.

“We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” ― David Brower, 1912-2000, Environmentalist
