Wood craftsman of the very peculiar sort, he makes impressive pieces of furniture and wall pieces.
Using steam, he makes pieces of wood malleable enough to bend into extravagant and complex curved shapes, creating a layered skeletal structure which eventually creates a usable piece of furniture.
He takes pieces of wood which are air dried for a year, slices them into long sticks, puts them into a steam pipe and then bends them to the shape he needs. He continues this process using clamps to hold the pieces in place in order to create the pieces of furniture.
The only aha moments I had with this was that for such an interesting person, he had such a problem making his presentation interesting. The classmates next to me probably fell asleep about 3 times. But on a serious note, the time that they have to mold the pieces into place is insane. 30 seconds is quite the time mark to beat.
