In the fascinating worlds of the German author, you can expect not only adventures among the stars, but also practical instructions for designing your own little oases. But what drives this extraordinary writer? His journey began with a deep connection to nature and an insatiable curiosity for the mysteries of the universe. This passion led him to a deep study of natural and quantum sciences, as well as a captivating exploration of early history. But that alone was not enough to ignite his creative fire. Growing up in an environment that emphasized the importance of practical work and manual skills, he often found himself in the vastness of the garden, dipping his hands into the earth and experiencing nature in its purest form. These early experiences not only shaped his love of nature, but also paved the way for his later training as a carpenter. But behind the facade of the craftsman lies a universe of unlimited imagination, fed by an inner pet monster of curiosity. The stories he had carried within him since childhood wanted to be released and shared with the world. So he found his way to writing - a way to bring his fascinating thoughts and ideas into reality. His science fiction works take you on a journey through the stars, full of futuristic technology, alien worlds and unexpected twists. But he also reveals his unique perspective in his DIY books, spicing practical instructions with a touch of creativity and a personal touch. Join this fascinating author on a journey through the infinite expanses of fantasy and be inspired by his boundless creativity. His works promise not only entertainment, but also an invitation to see the world with new eyes and discover the hidden possibilities in every corner.

Preface

I am a carpenter, lecturer and writer. I am a carpenter, trainer and writer in this book you learn something about the material wood and the tools you have at home when you do home improvement work because you enjoy building something yourself. Of course, this book can also awaken the love for wood crafts.

Under the motto: Make your garden a personal paradise, I wish you a lot of fun.

Recommendation: Read the book until the first construction projects. Choose your next project from the instructions and read it through completely first. Then read the project planning chapter. Then start your project and browse the other guides if you have time or want to start a new one.

The animal enclosures are garden animals except for the cat tree and the bird cage. (In Volume 1)

Note: Right-handed people attach the door hinges to the left and work with their right hand in the stable. Left-handed people attach the hinges to the right (doors, windows... open to the right) and you can then work more easily with your left hand in the barn. So you have the door, the window ... not on the side with which you want to reach into the stable.

1. Building material knowledge of wood

1. When it comes to wood, there are two major distinctions: coniferous wood and hardwood, as well as hardwood and softwood. The last two varieties are available in both coniferous and deciduous. Hardwoods are usually a bit more expensive to purchase, but they are not as susceptible to weather influences and/or pests or fungi.

2. If you do not want it for aesthetic reasons, you should remove the bark, because in between most insects or wood fungi romp. A tip carefully separate the bark, paint the surface after you have rubbed it off vigorously. Brush the bark and dip it in lacquer for about 5 minutes so that the lacquer flows everywhere and seals. Then, after drying, glue the bark back onto the wood. Press the bark firmly so that each gap is closed. Then go with the paintbrush again over the connection points between bark and wood. By this way, you have preserved the aesthetics and still protected everything.

3. Most of the wood used in the construction of the instructions mentioned here comes from pine and spruce. This wood is very light in weight and workmanship. It is light wood and can therefore be easily painted with all colors.
