Hope you don’t mind Lloyd, I thought I would put a link on here from an American sketch artist who is living and working in Germany, I enjoy his work and he captures the buildings beautifully. Hope you like it.

The Gastatte Schreinerei Pfeiffer is a restaurant here in Bad Homburg with hundreds and hundreds of carpenter’s tools on its walls, with candlelight and draft beer served from wooden taps and gemütlikcheit up the kazoocheit. The bartender told me that 27 years ago, the Pfeiffer cabinet shop was bought by a restaurateur and he decorated the place with the tools. And kept on adding more. Tables are workbenches and the tools have been heavily used and the vibes are incredible. I fantasized having a party there for my many carpenter friends and what a great time we would have. Beer is great of course and food is simple, hearty, good and there’s lots of it and the workers are happy and friendly. That little bow saw in the center of the above photo gives me the chills, like it’s something from a past life. I’ve looked at it longingly the 6 or so times I’ve been there. In below pic, those are all molding planes on the shelf and they look homemade.

Surfer couple Kim Obermeyer and Holly Beck using our book The Barefoot Architect to build an “Eco-friendly Cabaña in Northern Nicaragua.” When you go to this site, check out Holly riding her longboard — she rocks!  (It’s on right side, under “Recent Posts,” titled “Longboarding at La Bahia.” She just floats up from paddling to standing position and then shreds. She also runs a women’s surf camp in Nicaragua, Suave Dulce.
