www.1001pallets.com/2016/09/pallet-crafter-interview-12-t...

 

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Tim Steller, Crafter from Sarasota in Florida (USA) who specializes in making all kind of beautiful Artworks mainly from recycled wooden pallets; you can follow the work of Tim on its website: Steller Artworks. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.

 

Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?

  

My name is Tim Steller and I am a 36-year-old pallet artist that lives in sunny Sarasota Florida. I enjoy my beach-style life with my lovely wife Ashley and my almost 3-year-old boy Camden. Along with our knucklehead dogs Angus & Maverick. They’re goofy and lovable. Or for short we call them Gus and Rick.

 

Why do you craft?

  

I craft because, like most of us, I have an appreciation for wood and the characteristics it has and what it becomes. I love being able to look past pallet wood’s original purpose and recreate something new. I also try to express myself with art into everything I make just to give it a new feel.

 

How did you learn to do wood crafts?

  

I learned to do wood crafts with a lot of trial and error techniques. Actually, oddly enough, I got inspired from pumpkin carving. It’s one of my favorite things. Then I remember, a long time ago, borrowing a friend’s jigsaw and really got to know that machine so I went and bought my own and got to carving.

 

How long have you been working with pallets?

  

I've been working with pallets for about 2 years now and love them. They have the coolest, roughed-up look I can never recreate with chains or hammers. And when I find one by a dumpster it's even better because I know I'm giving it a better purpose.

  

Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?

  

I prefer working with pallets for many reasons, but mostly because they already have wear and tear, and natural knots missing. Imperfections are perfect for me. I always try and keep the nail heads in my artwork to give it that raw look.

 

What are your can’t-live-without essentials?

  

There's not a lot in my workshop I can't truly live without. My essentials list is short just because I hate being "attached" to any materials. But as far as for my work I can't go without my saws, power drill, hammer, crow bar, blowtorch, and sander. They’re my hard workers. I also can't work without my wireless speaker. That's a must. But more importantly, my family keeps me going every day. They are my world.

 

Are there any brands that are your favorites?

  

For tool brands I love DeWalt, Rockwell and Black & Decker. For my wireless speaker, it's the JBL Flip. It’s the best out there.

  

How would you describe your crafting style?

  

My crafting style would have to be an "Island Lifestyle". I live by the beach and most of my artwork is sea life inspired. I have also done many custom pieces with other subject matter or styles, but I prefer the tropics.

 

Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?

  

There are so many crafters out there that all inspire me to challenge myself and think outside the box and try to see things from different views. Too many artists to list but Dali has always been my artist I grew up studying and many tattoo artists that work with 3-D effects. It’s amazing what they can do with a needle. Detail is the key to finer artwork.

 

Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace? How did you make your workspace more functional and/or inspiring?

  

I do all my wood crafting at my house. I converted my garage into my art gallery where I paint/stain and next to my garage is my car port that I use for my wood working. My workspace is not that typical as you will see everything from fine art to skulls on shelves and everything between. My work space is art to me. Organized confusion is the best way to describe it. I thrive on creative chaos. This makes everything so much easier, because everything I do is from my home. When I want to have family time, I just shut the garage doors, sweep up the car port, dust myself off and I rejoin my normal life.

  

What types of things inspire you?

  

Living down here in Southwest Florida, there is inspiration everywhere you look. You just have to be able to stop and look at it and appreciate it without feeling the necessity of taking a selfie to post up. It's just the lifestyle down here that I find inspiring. But I do also get inspired every time somebody says, “Wow, did you cut that out with a laser cutter?” Nope! Just my jigsaw and my hands made that piece.

 

Where do you look for inspiration for a new woodcraft?

  

I look at all kinds of artwork all the time and I get inspired from ideas and try to blend them. Also, a lot of times my clients from that past will order a new piece with a theme in mind and that will get me inspired/excited to try something new. Change is always fun.

 

When do you feel the most creative?

  

I guess I feel most creative late night, after the little one is down for the day. It’s quiet, and I’m at peace. My toughest critic (besides myself) is my wife, but I’m glad of her input. It’ll get me thinking of ideas – or rethinking them - and then the chemistry starts. I’ll get the music playing and that’s the perfect setting for creativity.

  

We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?

  

One of my biggest selling features is that every piece is one-of-a-kind and can't be duplicated. But that's mostly because of the wood. They absorb differently and each has its own characteristics and that makes it unique. Just to know it was handpicked, broken apart, sanded, etc., is such a quality in itself. In other words you won't find my artwork on Amazon anytime soon.

 

What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?

  

I also love to work with other related arts such as sketching and painting but I I’m also a bartender at a busy marina where I get to be creative and use local ingredients to make some of the best cocktails in the SW Florida. This is a craft that is taking off around the world and I love being a part of that scene.

  

What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting? What are your most important safety tips when woodworking?

  

Tips for beginners: Try to have fun and don't get discouraged with your first attempts. That's how you learn and the next will be that much better. Also try to make a work space outside, not on your patio. The wood and tools will add up quickly and then your patio is a cluttered workshop with dust everywhere. Your other half won't be thrilled. Lastly be careful. Tearing apart a pallet is tough and dangerous, especially if you’re using saws. Also, know your tools. Practice on something easy first. Pallets have split boards with sharp ends, large nails waiting to pierce you and they're heavy. If you can get that pallet home, then you’re half way there. You can take apart an entire pallet with just a hammer. I've done that. But you can also learn dismantling techniques with saws, but once again, be CAREFUL! Watch some YouTube first.

 

What is your guilty pleasure?

  

Guilty pleasures would have to be collecting abstract art, my weird skull collection fascination, Halloween, horror films (old and new), Tattoos, loud music, Jeeps, boating, big dogs, and a few others.

  

What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?

  

A few hobbies I like to do are going to a certain beach with the family and collecting driftwood. I'm working on some cool table tops with using driftwood as the base. Other hobbies would include football, basketball, and soccer to stay active.

 

What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them?

  

The first thing you need to know is if the pallet you found is free for the taking, or does the company recycle them? If they do, you can't take that pallet. But there are plenty more around you can take. Next, make sure there are no chemical spills on it, like from a construction site. You don't want those. Once you break it apart you can either remove the nails by hammering them out in reverse or cut them off with a bolt cutter. Then it's time to sand. 80 grit works to get it down to smooth but finish with a 220.

  

Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?

  

I don't have any hand-made tools I use but I have a variety of tools I use. I do like using my paints and stains for my projects and I make a lot of my own color combinations along with stain to give it a unique look. I try to imitate wood aging like barn wood or petrified wood. I've used all kinds of brushes that I've made; even using an old sock!

 

What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?

  

There are endless skills you can use in wood crafting. This has been going on since the dawn of time, haha! I would like to start working with bamboo soon but that's an entirely different operation I need to learn.

 

What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?

  

I guess the piece I'm most proud of is my first one I ever made, which I still have. I have made many pieces that are hanging in million dollar homes as well as high-end restaurants and businesses and some of my favorites are the hammerhead shark, the hog fish, mermaid and the Marlin but my first one is my favorite. It's a very simple piece made of 7 boards with a song quote on it. I still think it’s very cool.

 

What else would you like to share with the pallet community?

  

The one thing I can share is to keep thinking of the possibilities. Take a pallet and turn it around. You have a 6 shelf herb garden you can throw up on a wall outside. You don't need to hammer a thing. Just try looking at things from a different view. Pallets are adult-sized Legos for us to build with. The online fascination is growing each day and now people appreciate it because there's a story behind each one. Let's keep this movement going!

  

If you’re ever in the Sarasota FL area, I am at the Siesta Key Farmers Market on Sundays displaying my art, and I would love to talk to you.

Editor’s note: Thank you for your time and for sharing your story with us, and with our fellow Crafters. Your work is beautiful and inspiring to all of us, and we truly look forward to more from you in the future! Keep those gorgeous pieces coming!

I know it's sad but this is the most exciting thing I have witnessed since lockdown started. A news reporter came to interview a staff member from the care home behind where I live. So I dusted the cobwebs off a camera and put a long lens on it to record the event.

Our daughter is a reporter for the wonderful TIME For Kids publication. Talk about a plum assignment--interviewing Zac Efron on the heels of HSM3...

Lianne Dalziel Christchurch's mayor being intervened about the event.

 

It was Five years today September 4, 2015 that Canterbury was first shaken by a major quake, the people of Christchurch gathered on New Brighton beach this morning to mark the anniversary. I went with a friend but she didn't want to get up so early so we missed part of it. New Brighton Christchurch New Zealand at dawn.

 

There was a person from Radio News interviewing people there about their experiences of the earthquake five years ago and I was on the Radio News and also in a article.

In a subway station of Vienna I found the man you see on the right, standing still in the middle of a lane, wearing headphones and holding an humongous microphone in his hands. I was ambushing him along the wall, when the second man came into the frame: it seemed like Big Mike was asking for an interview. Actually, I think that Big Mike was a technician measuring the level of noise in the subway.

Me and my cousins Hubby Balaji, both of us had an hours time of talking about the lives of these kids at the Ahobila Madam. They answered our silly questions on Religion, Mythology and god patiently. The session was one of the most enlightening and interesting ones i have ever had. This was shot while we spoke on many a things in general about life, religion, perspective, money etc.,

 

As Balaji started off with questions he urged me to ask more of them since im more comfortable in striking conversations with strangers. Of course he then later took over and the things that come out of these small great minds is fascinating. They are clear, focussed and balanced about just about everything! Something i never am, was or could be.

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Wesley Marien, Crafter from Belgium who made all kind of gorgeous furniture from recycled wooden pallets. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.

 

Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?

  

My name is Wesley Marien. I live in Belgium, am 31 years old, married to a fantastic wife, a little son (from a former relationship). I’m kind of a rebel. At 20 years old, I started to D.J., but got into music in general when I started playing at age 11. I like to be as versatile as possible. I’m always looking for practical solutions at home or when people ask for my help or skills, and it makes me happy when they ask me. It’s hard to obtain a job though because I’m not the easiest guy to work with, so I want to start on my own business. I can quickly add to my skills, so I want to start something small - on my own and be my own boss. I do like to providing a service to people, so what better way to do it than with some creativity?

 

Why do you craft?

  

The urge to create things is greater than ever. Everything I make, I make with pride!

 

How did you learn to do wood crafts?

  

I have a basic education in woodcraft from school but never properly finished school. I like to challenge myself because I know I can learn anything if I put my mind to it. My father took me along to do some jobs with family or anyone who paid him when I was only 11 - 12 years old. Ever since I left school I became my father as my friends always could rely on me to do a job no matter what it was. I know a bit of everything... woodwork, electricity, metal, plumbing, and renovation in general, and I’m glad of it!

 

How long have you been working with pallets?

  

Since last summer.

  

Why did you choose to work with pallets instead of purchased wood?

  

I think we have all the wood we need in the world to recycle. There’s no need for cutting down new trees for mass production. :)

 

What are your can’t-live-without essentials?

  

My wife & my son!!! My music!!! My wood!!!

 

Are there any brands that are your favorites?

  

I’m not a brand type of guy.

  

How would you describe your crafting style?

  

Not perfect at all but solid and playful; unorthodox and maybe a little stubborn.

 

Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?

  

Not really. You can learn from anybody and anything.

 

Where do you do your wood crafts? How would you describe your workspace?

  

In my shed and its well organized, otherwise it’s impossible to do a decent job. I always work organized, but never with a plan.

 

How did you make your workspace more functional and/or inspiring?

 

I made my own workbench, toolbox, shelves and I know a thing or two about electricity so that’s all well provided. If you create your own workspace then the morale and respect for your equipment is so much greater then when it’s all store-bought.

 

What types of things inspire you?

  

Inspiration is like love… you never know from which corner it lurks – like finding a site like 1001pallets.com for example.

 

Where do you look for inspiration for a new woodcraft?

  

It all depends… since I’m stubborn I like to do as little inspiration as possible. Not that I don’t do research, but I only need to see something once and then my brain starts to work.

 

When do you feel the most creative?

  

All day long!! But it never hurts to let your mind rest every now and then :)

  

We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?

  

To put a hold on mass production! It’s hard to answer this particular question since I’m not happy with society the way it is. Cutting wood on a massive scale is one thing but what about all the animals that live in and around the trees!? Cut a tree here or there but not the horrible clear-cutting. That’s sad as hell!!

 

What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?

  

Any wood will do as long as it’s not rotten. :)

 

What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?

  

Push the limit always little by little. Never be afraid to try something new, and watch your fingers.

 

What are your most important safety tips when woodworking?

  

Train a steady hand and logic is your friend. Also there’s no need for rushing things while working with wood and be sure to use sharp tools.

 

What is your guilty pleasure?

  

Cannabis.

  

What are some of your other hobbies or favorite things to do (other than crafting)?

  

Electronic music plays a big part in my life. I’ve played it for 20 years now and also recently into producing tracks and sounds. It’s my ultimate anti-stress, cure against society… music is always with me :) I also like to cook for my family since I’ve worked in several restaurant kitchens and picked up a thing or two from the experience. I make the best salads according to my wife!

Growing crops is also a thing we do in our garden and I have an indoor greenhouse where I spend every day an hour or two. Another thing that I just absolutely love is Western horseback riding. I’m not the best rider, but unafraid and they all say I have the talent for it. My wife says I have golden hands because everything I touch ends up well or turns into gold :)

 

What are some of your best tips for breaking down, prepping, and cleaning pallets before you build with them?

  

Take your time, inspect your pieces you want to use and decide where they all go in the project. If there are flaws in the wood, leave them in and give them a strategic place so like it’s meant to be there. Sanding is something you love or hate. I kinda love it because it reveals your end product so train yourself to sand, sand, sand and then sand some more. When the wood is to beat up throw it in the stove :)

 

Have you designed any special tools or jigs for wood crafts?

  

Not really but that will change soon.

 

What are some wood working skills you really want to learn?

  

Carving and sculpturing.

 

What is the one project you’re the proudest of so far?

  

For the moment it must be my famous (local) cathouse.

 

What else would you like to share with the pallet community?

  

No project can be bigger than the wood you have!

  

Editor’s Note: Thank you for your time and for sharing your story with us, and with our fellow Crafters. Your work is beautiful and inspiring to all of us, and we truly look forward to more from you in the future! Keep those gorgeous pieces coming!

Thanks Wesley for this interview :)
