In Kobus’s own words
Pensionaris en stokperdjie mesmaker vanaf 2019. My stokperdjie het vinnig verander in 'n passie waar elke item met die hand, met liefde, noukeurigheid, passie en so bietjie bloed gemaak word. Ek maak nie stelle van dieselfde item nog nie, rede is van die uitsny tot afwerking is met die hand. Ek doen die metaal verwydering metode omrede ons woon in sekuriteit kompleks en staal smee gaan gepaard met redelike geraas. Ek doen wel die verharding en temper proses self.
