He also makes creative use of any bric-a-brac which comes his way, for instance turning an old window lattice into a primitive-looking clock, or hollowing out an old brick to take a motor-driven pair of clock hands. He also collects folk crafts such as aboriginal hand-woven cloths or an old table made of Taiwanese sandalwood, and has many rare and valuable pieces.
他對於信手撚來之物也有豐富創造力，例如將老窗櫺變成古樸的時鐘，將古磚挖空裝上馬達時針；他也收藏山地手工藝編織、台灣檀香木馬蹄腳舊桌子等民俗藝品，寶藏不少。
