• My basic aducation is cabinetmaker/carpenter and for some years I was a welder/constructionworker.
  

• In 1990 I took up woodturning as a hobby.
  

• I'm completely autodidact, I have learnd it myself by books, videotape's, looking at others en lots of trial and error.
  

• From the moment I got the nack, I'm trying to be creativ in making all kinds of turning, like bowls, vazes, hollow forms and the like.
  

• Most of the wood I get for free, I barely buy wood.
