The seats for the benches are sanded and polished. At the same time, sharp edges and splinters are removed. The edges are slightly rounded so that users are not at risk of injuring themselves on chips later.
We use special discs for the angle grinder. The discs are actually intended for metalworking, but they allow us to use the wide pallet wood for longer and – particularly important – they tolerate individual nails or screws that stick out and are then sanded down at the same time.

Marie-Isabel is building a special bank for exchanging fossils – which can be found in many places in the fields here in the Cervera del Maestre area. The archaeologist will also offer rare semi-precious stones for exchange in the bench.

Another bench is prepared for painting. The seating area has already been pre-sorted.

The MUARCO art project is also getting a bench. The new branch will serve the purpose of exchange, just like the wooden box that was inaugurated on January 1, 2025. This branch is already enjoying interested and committed visitors.

There will be special seating for the children. The cubes were made from small special pallets. Today they were cleaned and sharp edges were rounded off with an angle grinder. In the next step, the substructures will be impregnated and the seats will be painted with clear varnish.

Dirk is working on a special children’s toy.

Marie-Isabel makes compartments in the drawer.

The casino has been sanded and is being prepared for painting.

Another bench gets its design.

This piece of equipment will later be mounted on the toy bench, any idea what it could be?
