Aydın Acar transforms scrap metal and wood into art in Samsun

Aydın Acar, a 62-year-old health officer in Samsun, Turkey, has spent the last 15 years transforming scrap metal and wood into various works of art. Acar, who has served at the Samsun Health Directorate for 38 years, utilizes his free time during shift breaks to work in an attic workshop he established in his home in the İlkadım district.

Using materials sourced from scrap yards and discarded wooden pallets, Acar creates items such as children's toys, stools, accessories, and garden decorations. While he previously focused more on woodworking, he has recently shifted his attention toward metalwork. Acar emphasizes that his activities are strictly a hobby intended for personal enjoyment and waste reduction rather than for commercial profit.
