I moved to Albert Lea in 2010. In that time I finished a 7.5 year project to build the Swedish warship Vasa (the only intact 17th century warship in the world) in miniature and from scratch. Here are some pics of my work:

Through this project, I also discovered that I can carve sculpture in wood...

I also like to build historic firearms.

My Baker rifle:

And a matchlock musket that I built after one from Vasa (I carved the stock for this one):

In 2011 I made some 1:10 scale Vasa artillery that went to the Vasa museum in Stockholm Sweden to be displayed on their 1:10 scale model.

A pic of the masters that I made for making molds:

Thank you!

I just wrote a short biography on myself as well on my website that explains how I got to live in Albert Lea:

My wife and I like it here. It is quiet and we like the slow pace, but yet there is a big enough population to support businesses that provide most things that you need.

:D
Cheers!
