My uncle Carlos carves masks out of solid wood so around Xmas I challenged him to do Rick and Morty masks.

This is the full length video of making the Rick mask.

This mask is for sale. Contact me for more details.

Rick and Morty is an awesome Adult Swim Cartoon that is not on it's 3rd season. In my oppinion one of the most creative and fun to watch shows of recent years, can't way for season 4!

This water pump has been sitting above a well for many many decades. When we moved in 20+ years ago it was already very rusted and in bad shape, but it still could pump, just.

One day the handle broke, and there it sat, unturned for about 10 years.

Every time I visit my dad I don't have time to do much as time is short, but on this occasion tried to fix it.

The biggest problem were the valves, and I made new ones using a tractor's inner tube.

Last night on Great British Bake Off (a popular TV program) they made Pasteis de Nata, a traditional Portuguese custard tart.

One of Gemma's friends challenged me to do it and I too her on... oh boy... a bit harder than I expected.

Was a bit late to start with, then was missing the tins to cook them in. It was a mess and really difficult to shoot and bake at the same time!

Finally got to try some stop motion animation!

This is the story of Jasper the cat, which had a great life until a terrible accident happened. Obviously, after being depressed for a bit he comes back fighting to overcome his setbacks. In the end his new perspective on life take him beyond his wildest dreams.

It was really fun! It's interesting because some things take a long time to animate and other things are really quick to make, like a workshop or a cloud.

Interestingly enough it feels like this type of story telling works quite well for big and bold ideas because drawing/making something mundane takes the same amount of time than creating something crazy and imaginative.

From start to finish, with the help of Gemma we managed to script, storyboard, make all the cut-outs, set and light the scene, take all the pictures, import into edit, chose all the music and sounds and edit it all together, export, and upload in under 5 hours.

Could easily improve it but for a first attempt and in such a short period of time I'm quite happy at our little story :D

Now that the bad weather is gone we managed to get out and the day and wind was perfect for testing the joystick prototype. Medium/strong and pretty steady, so quite good for the Seed.

I started by stetting up the bag weight and attaching the pulleys and wing. Launched it just as is to make sure everything was working.

Then I set up the joystick itself, at the correct distance and ran the control lines to the brakes and A's.

After a few problems with geometry and mostly crappy pulleys it was up and working and I couldn't believe it! Really happy to have been able to turn an idea into a working prototype and I'm already thinking about how to make it better, learn more and use it as a stepping stone for bigger projects :)

My friend gave me this massive salt stone from a mine in Spain and it had been kicking around the house for quite a few months.

I didn't know what to do with it or where to put to so I thought I'd shoot a timelapse of it dissolving in water.

It creates some really interesting shapes as it dissolves and you can see the micro currents that the differences in salinity and density create.

NOVA ION 6 (EN B paraglider) – Adventure awaits

Three-liner | 51 cells | aspect ratio 5.19 | weight 4.7kg - size S

For nearly a decade the NOVA ION has represented something like the Swiss Army Knife or the VW Golf amongst paragliders: you can do “everything” with it and very few people actually need “more”. The spectrum ranges from relaxed local soaring to a 200+ km FAI triangle - and all this with a very high degree of passive safety and relatively low demands on the pilot. With the newest generation of the ION 6, this has not changed.

Despite this, it is a completely new design: The ION 6 has a higher projected aspect ratio than its predecessor, less curvature and shorter lines. Also, for the first time we have equipped an ION with
– performance-enhancing Mini-ribs
– Zig-Zag 3D-shaping
– a Mini-Rib Vector Tape as well as
– optimised wing twist in accelerated flight.
This leads a clear increase in performance, which is highly accessible to an extremely wide range of pilots happy, remains the same..

NOVA ION 6 (EN / LTF B Gleitschirm) – Adventure awaits

Dreileiner| Zellen: 51 | Streckung: 5,19 | Gewicht: 4,7 kg bei Größe S

Seit rund einem Jahrzehnt stellt der NOVA ION so etwas dar wie das Schweizer Taschenmesser oder den VW Golf unter den Gleitschirmen: Man kann „alles“ damit machen und „mehr“ braucht eigentlich kaum jemand. Vom entspannten Cruisen am Hausberg bis hin zum FAI-Dreieck von 200+ km reicht das Spektrum – und das alles mit einem sehr hohen Maß an passiver Sicherheit und relativ geringem Anspruch an den Piloten. Mit der neuesten Generation ION 6, hat sich daran nichts geändert.

Trotzdem ist er ION 6 ist eine komplette Neuentwicklung: Er hat eine höhere projizierte Streckung als seine Vorgänger, weniger Krümmung und kürzere Leinen. Außerdem statten wir den Schirm erstmals aus mit:
– leistungsfördernden Mini-Ribs
– Zig-Zag 3D-Shaping
– einem Mini-Rib Vektorband
– sowie Schränkungsverstellung im Schnellflug.
Dies sorgt für einen klaren Leistungszuwachs. Die Positionierung als unkomplizierter EN / LTF B-Schirm mit hoher passiver Sicherheit, der ein extrem breites Spektrum an Piloten glücklich macht, bleibt jedoch gleich.

Detaillierte Informationen gibt es auf www.nova.eu/ion-6

NOVA MENTOR 5 from NOVA Paragliders sets the standard for XC-intermediate wings (EN/LTF B). With the all new NOVA MENTOR 5, we have combined impressive performance with a high degree of passive safety, which encourages pilots to exceed their boundaries.
