Hiya,


I have started this blog site from my gorgeous husband Martiens who is very busy at the moment working on a 6ft Metal Shark which is to become our next weather vane....i will keep you posted!


We have recently re-located to Cornwall and are in the process of setting up a new workshop and website. We have one on google sites where you can see some photos of his latest work and some videos but will hopefully be updating to a more professional one soon.




We have posted some videos on you tube just type in - Martiens Bekker - you will also find some great poetry mainly in Afrikaans ..... enjoy!

Martiens' make many things from all sorts, old washing machines, cars, bikes, gates, farm equipment, he has a really unhealthy addiction for rusty metal....and old pallets! The photo on this blog is called Hit and Run - a Tak Bok (Reindeer) made from old spanners and some one's old boot - bought by a lovely lady in Rock to hang in her home.....


I will try to post new works as and when they are created.....and if he has the time i will try to get Martiens to write about them....


If you want to contact us just send an email, our address is on our website..
