After the tour, I made dinner for them. We walked through the building at a fast pace. It was quite a gruelling event to process so many impressions in such a short space of time, but at least we got it done.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The tour started in the beginning of the workplace, where the most wonderful objects are made. Close to the office (and me) because customised pieces require a lot of deliberation. I showed them the bar we are making for the Kunstkerk in Dordrecht. The body is finished, then it will be entirely clad with 40&#215;40 scrap wood tiles and copper fittings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PHE_8593.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PHE_8593.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PHE_8593-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PHE_8593-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/PHE_8593-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Right next to it is a series of tree trunk tables we have made for Ilse Crawford. They wanted to be able to disassemble them, so we connected the legs and the rails using a stainless steel click system. The tables are an example of what we are doing more and more: \u201cextreme furniture making\u201d.

workshop.&nbsp;In the metal workshop is a little aluminium metal house that we are making especially for a customer. It is made with as little material waste as possible, using exactly 10 complete sheets of 6 mm thick aluminium.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also walked through the packaging area to the wood storage, where there were a load of boxes that will soon be picked up for transport to America and Japan. Erik thought the wood storage area looked like a cathedral. When you see such large quantities of wood, sorted by colour and piled up left and right of the aisles, you understand that our scrap wood products are really made from old wood and just what this entails.&nbsp;Then we quickly walked through the showroom, to finally take the lift to the Dakbar. The Dakbar is not open quite yet, but it is a wonderful space to be able to show people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that we went one floor lower to see the hotel corridor and one of the rooms, and completed the tour with a visit to the Wonder Room and the Lobby Restaurant which is thankfully busy again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"62847\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/uncategorized\/work-in-progress\/attachment\/01_aluminium_huisje_process01-1\" class=\"wp-image-62847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/01_Aluminium_Huisje_process01-1-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"62865\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/uncategorized\/work-in-progress\/attachment\/img_6861\" class=\"wp-image-62865 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_6861-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"62849\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/uncategorized\/work-in-progress\/attachment\/dakbar_1phe\" class=\"wp-image-62849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE.png 1024w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DAKBAR_1\u00a9PHE-700x467.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"62851\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/uncategorized\/work-in-progress\/attachment\/whatsapp-image-2022-02-01-at-13-17-33-3\" class=\"wp-image-62851 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/pietheineek.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-01-at-13.17.33-3-700x466.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Steef joined us and saw straight away that everyone has had enough of the tour.
