Welcome to my Workshop

Workshop Overview

Back in early 2000, when I was 11 years old, I started using electrical tools such as drill and jigsaw to build “street luge” (carrinho de rolimã). From there on I started building many other kind of projects, such as customising 1:18 diecast models, ping-pong robot, furnitures, bicycles and so on.

In 2016 when I moved back to Londrina, after graduation, I decided to build a workshop so I could work on my personal projects with a better set of tools and materials. So in November’16 I started with a wooden workbench and in one year it has everything I could ever ask for.

The last job I have finished, in February 2018, was the complete restoration of an old bike for Tána. I like how it turned out, it took me several hours but it was worth it at the end. She is completely in love with her new bike.

Another project I am proud of working on was this little bed and side table for my son Anthony. I can’t be happier of how it turned out, full metal it is very robust, can handle tree people laying down (perfect for calming down nightmares), it is reachable for his height and it looks modern.

Another present for him was the restoration of my old BMX. Several years standing under rain it turned out into rust (pity I didn’t take a picture). I zinc plated all the parts, bought some new ones, painted it all in black with brown handlebar. It looks badass!!
