Good afternoon guys,  at first i wish u merry and peaceful Christmas time. My last crafted piece is an pirate chest. Its necessary to say that theres no blacksmith work. Its just about cutting, grinding, assembling and welding pieces together. I would like to say that this chest moved my craft skills forward. It took me cca 12 hours till i finished it. Wood is spruce stained with palisander and steel parts are painted with "hammer-colour" (thats how we call it here "kladivková farba"). Hinges are made from bolt with two nuts, easy, cheap and functionally solution. 

 

i hope u will like it. It was my Christmas present for parents. They love it, who knows why, its looking good or just because their son made it. :-D Its up to you.

 

For these days, your young craftsman Viktor ;)

 

PS: Later ill upload more photos of details ;) now i have to go wish Merry Christmas to rest of my family.

Happy Holiday to you too Viktor from me and others in the IFI family.  Nice project and great use of available materials.  I like how the wood and metal colors contrast and how it looks.

Very well done, Viktor!

Merry Christmas!

A beautiful piece of craftsmanship, Viktor. Your parents will value it as a work of art, even moreso because you made it.
