My self made products


I used to study at machinery high school. So it is common that I have been working on many projects on which I have added some improvements.
Even I was employed by IMP Klimat, then Induplati Jarše and now by RTV Slovenia, I have been working at my workshop at home too.

I was lucky, because I have been enjoying work on the projects which were so unique and so specific.


Moulding and technical improvements on new unique sport cars

One of the most important things is my home made sport car. In the past approximately twenty years ago I think in 1985 it was (for me) impossible to buy a special unique sport car. So I decided to make it by myself.
In the beginning when I was preparing the plans – I had many ideas about the shapes and which spare standard parts from other cars I could use to include in my project. First I decided to use many parts from Zastava 101. Later I improved a few things on my project, so I used the motor and some other things from Volkswagen - public car Golf turbo diesel. The shape of the car was built from polyester substance with fiberglass. Twenty-six pieces were fixed on the fundamental iron construction. This construction was the fundament for the motor, transmission gear, wheels and other necessary things too.

The car looked perfect and it was the first car in Slovenia which had a unique sport design. I got the first price on the public exhibition in 1990.
I made some improvements on projects for many types of cars - especially on sport cars in that time. So I made another special car which is called “ avtocross “ ( take a look at the photo)

Saving the energy is one of the most important things in my life. Why not – If we are doing things with efficiently - we need less input of energy, we spend less money and we can get a better effect. The most important thing is: Don't polute the world - we must save our beautiful, unique nature!


Hydroelectric Power Stations

I made few HPS-s in eighties. One of them was situated near my parent’s house. I made them because I wanted to save the energy and provide electricity for my house in case the main electric power station broke down.

Transmission Gears

Each car has a transmission gear. I’m sure that all of you know what it is. Twenty-five years ago cars had transmission gears with just four or less speeds. Nowdays we can find the cars with six gears forward and it is common one for reverse.
I improved the transmission gears on Zastava 101 and Yugo and added the fifth gear. I made about 150 transmission gears for five speeds between 1985 and 1987, and of course earned enough money to buy the building plot for my new house.

Stage scenes

I have done many stage scenes for Mladinsko gledališÄ�e, Cankarjev dom, Narodno gledališÄ�e, RTV, Opera, fashion creators, etc. Because of this I earned extra money for my family, for my business hobbies and all the things, I m representing

Here are a few famous csenes: (More photos and movies can be found on Gallery)

Machine tools

The next very unusuall thing was my electro sailing plane named APIS e.e with a trailer and the other necessities. Many things about it are on the main menu on http://www.glider-one.si


If I was born again, I would do all my self made products again.
