At The Owl’s Nest it is not just about a single repair or a one-off workshop, but also about projects that we work on over a longer period of time. Some of these are small and straightforward, others grow into something that touches several disciplines: woodworking, metalwork, electronics, software, documentation and everything in between. On this page we collect some of these projects so you can follow along, think with us and, if you like, join in.
The projects below are not finished “products”, but work in progress. We show not only what goes well, but also what we run into, which choices we make and why we sometimes deliberately take a step back. That fits The Owl’s Nest: a place where technology becomes visible, open to discussion and approachable.
Bozuki is a project car and mobile classroom in which we rebuild, repair and document an older Suzuki step by step.
In our coffee corner it is not about fast coffee, but about taking a moment to arrive. You can sit down for a chat about technology, to clear your head after a busy day, or simply because you feel like some company. Nothing is required; a cup of coffee or tea is enough reason to step inside.
Every week we walk our route through Haarlem North with our own delivery cart. Delivering leaflets, having a chat along the way and using the proceeds to support the foundation.
Together we look at whether your device can get a second life: from small jobs to more complex repairs, with time to explain what we do and what you can do yourself.
