abarbarian Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This Incredible Dragon Bench Was Carved Using A Chainsaw Chainsaws and art might not exactly seem like the best match at first glance, but Igor Loskutow blends them with finesse. He was born in USSR-administered Tallinn (now the capital of Estonia) and currently works in Bad Dürrheim, Southern Germany, as a Husqvarna representative and wood carving instructor. Since 2006, he has received more than a dozen accolades for his work, including a first-place ranking at the prestigious Fasna Carving Festival in the Netherlands in 2009. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete! Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Aptly named thread..... I can not see any of Roberts posts on this page ..... they are all blank ..... can see al posts from every one else. Are you using a script blocking add-on? I didn't look at all Robert's posts, but at first, his last one looked blank. After I told "NoSctipt" to allow youtube, I could watch the video he posted.

abarbarian Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Rats as mine detectors After observing the negative impact landmines had on farmers in Africa, Bart Weetjens came up with a novel and cost-effective way to address the issue: teaching rats to detect them. Bart Weetjens always adored pet rats as a teenager. He would breed them and sell them to pet stores. Little did he know that this teenage hobby would go on to inform his entire career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
