abarbarian Posted September 21, 2017 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

Pete! Posted February 11, 2018 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. Edited February 11, 2018 by Pete! 1 Quote

abarbarian Posted March 16, 2018 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
