Great article! It’s great to travel to other countries and see the methods and workmanship they use to craft things. I really like the wood body on the car, it shows you that you can literally make anything from wood.

My wife’s side family is from Norway. When they came to visit, they were amazed that we use plastic and cement board for siding here in the United States. Haha, they couldn’t get over the fact that my truck uses regular gas and not diesel and that it was an automatic.

Anyway, my name is Wade by the way. I own the website generationwoodworks.com. I hope to see more of your adventures!

Glenn,

We certainly indulged in all you listed and more! We brought back a suitcase full of beer and are trying to re-create the amazing frites we enjoyed.

It was the experience of a lifetime, but one that I would love to repeat someday! If I do, you’ll be the first to know.

Hi Matt;
I see you had a nice trip in our little country.
Besides the woodwork i hope you took some time to try the beer, chocolates, waffles and fries too.
I hope you enjoyed your stay, and maybe if you come back to Belgium i can guide you around.

Greetings Glenn Wouters

Matt, love the article and pictures. Can you, or someone tell me what the object is, that’s setting in the lower left corner of the music instrument shop picture? I’m guessing it’s a form for setting a curve in a thin sheet of wood. Maybe for glue ups. I’m not sure though. I think I see something similar against the back wall on the floor as well (smaller version?). I’m just making wild guesses. Also, I thought the clamping method you pointed out was great.
