22.01.2022 Stoked to be part of Australian Wood Review magazine Maker of the Year competition Posted @withregram @woodreview Countdown to entry deadline...6 days...are you entering Wood Review magazine's Maker of the Year awards atwww.woodreview.com.au/moty? . Damien O'Loughlin @olofurniture 's Lisk Floor Lamp stands just over 2.4m tall and has a span of 1.7m. "It is the hero piece in almost any room, providing a beautiful ambient light as well as spot light perfect for reading with... on your favourite couch or armchair. The base and lamp pole are made from spotted gum and the shade can easily be swapped out for a different look. A smart globe allows the lamp to be switched and dimmed via a smartphone from anywhere in the house. The lamp pole is made from eight, 3.6m strips of spotted gum. Five of these strips are initially laminated together to the target curve before a groove is then routed into the centre of the spine to accept and conceal the electrical cable. The pole is then finished by applying the final three laminates and then heading back to the work bench to neaten everything up. Once the pole is finished it is effectively a 3.6m long tenon. A mortise is cut into the circular base at 17 degrees using a router and a custom jig. The overall pole curve and the angled mortise help to throw some weight backward and move the centre of gravity to a position where the lamp can withstand the odd bump and not topple over." . Entered in the Furniture category. . The awards are open to Australians and New Zealanders, $15k+ in cash and prizes, enter work made after Jan 1, 2019.

21.01.2022 New project now underway for a special client. It is a 1200x3000mm American Oak dining table to be finished in black. The table has a few new details I have never used in a dining table including some cool 3-way mitres and dovetails. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #learnwoodworking #woodworkshop #AmericanOak #DiningTable #LiskDiningTable @ Brookfield, Queensland, Australia

20.01.2022 The new spiral cutter-head has produced some outstanding results. The peak noise levels are dramatically reduced and the results with this spotted gum are finish perfect. The upgrade process was surprisingly easy so will share that when I get a chance. ... ... #woodshop #finewoodworking #woodworking #woodwork #woodworkersofinstagram #shoptime #workshoplife #woodworkshop #awesomeresult #spiralcutter #upgrade #awesome #soexcited #gonnaplanesomestuff #giddyup @ Brookfield, Queensland, Australia See more

19.01.2022 Test run on the 3-way mitre joinery for my next duning table build which is a 3000x1200 American Oak dining table.

18.01.2022 Step 3: After making a new 5th section by laminating 3x 90x45s the next steps are to thickness all 5 sticks to the same width and start the glue up process. ... #CustomFurniture #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #bespoke #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #woodworking #brisbanewoodworker #fairseattable

18.01.2022 Step #10: Cut the elongated screw holes. First cut with a 5mm #FestoolDomino bit and the second cut with a 10mm bit to accomodate the screw head. ... #CustomFurniture #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #woodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #LiskDiningTable

17.01.2022 Step #13: Base is done, time to start on the top. The top requires 8, 150mm boards at 3000 long so I start by cutting them oversized, straightening 1 side and then squaring up on the table saw, approximately 10mm oversized (160mm). Repeat 10-11 times so there are a choice of boards to select from. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #workshoplife #woodshop #bespoke #custommade #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #woodworkersofIG #LiskDiningTable #festoolts55

17.01.2022 Step #3 for the Lisk Dining Table build is to mill the timber for the base. The key here, so that the 3-way mitres all meet flush, is to ensure every stick is dimensioned exactly the same. Oh, and makes spares, plenty of spares ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #learnwoodworking #woodworkshop #AmericanOak #DiningTable #liskdiningtable

16.01.2022 Step #18: I need to get some bracing on the top as quickly as possible to try to contain unwanted movement. The base goes on first but since it doesn’t span the entire length I like to add some aluminium square section. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #workshoplife #woodshop #bespoke #custommade #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #woodworkersofIG #liskdiningtable

14.01.2022 Step #2 with the Lisk Dining Table is to work through the intricacies of the 3-way mitre joints that will be used for the base. Prototype 2 turned out all right and I took away plenty of lessons to apply to the final version. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #learnwoodworking #woodworkshop #AmericanOak #DiningTable #liskdiningtable

13.01.2022 Step #5: With the dominos securely fitted it is time to cut the mortise in the adjacent mitre face. As the second mortise cuts into the existing domino its not a bad idea to wait for the glue to fully dry. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #woodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #learnwoodworking #woodworkshop #AmericanOak #DiningTable #liskdiningtable

08.01.2022 Step #14: Now all the boards are roughly the same length and width it is off to the thickie. With the boards being sooo long and sooo heavy I skip the jointer and hope i can clamp the bow out (you definitely need to avoid twisted boards for this to work). I start by thicknessing one board at a time (starting with the thinest) and then getting all others (individually) to approximately that width. I then thickness them all together down to the final thickness of ~45mm.... ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #workshoplife #woodshop #bespoke #custommade #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #woodworkersofIG #liskdiningtable See more

07.01.2022 Step #15: The only way I have found to successfully joint boards of this side is using a tracksaw. By placing the jointed faces together and running a tracksaw down the middle you can produce a seamless joint. You may need to do it a couple of times, especially if you are using a thin kerf blade like myself. I also had issues with blade deflection so resorted the taking multiple 6mm passes.... ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #workshoplife #woodshop #bespoke #custommade #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #woodworkersofIG #LiskDiningTable #festoolts55 See more

07.01.2022 Step #11A: Glue-Up. As it is such a complicated glue up I do it in 4 stages and use Titebond 3 to give me extra wiggle room. Stage 1 is the 3 way mitres at one end. Once dry, remove the clamps and do the other end.... While the multiple squaring triangles may appear to be an over kill, I found that the more I used the easier it was to perfectly align the 3 way mitres. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #workshoplife #woodshop #bespoke #custommade #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #LearnWoodworking #liskdiningtable

06.01.2022 Step #4 After cutting the base sticks to length Is to glue each of the dominos into place. Before I do this I shim a mm of each side of the domino to give me a little wiggle room during the glue up. ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #learnwoodworking #woodworkshop #AmericanOak #DiningTable #LiskDiningTable

06.01.2022 Step #7: Dovetails! Did someone say dovetails! The sides and the ends are all connected using half lapped dovetails to provide rigidity and torsional strength. I like to use the table saw with an 8 degree blade I had specially made ... #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #woodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #w...orkshoplife #DesignerMaker #DiningTable #LiskDiningTable See more
