20.01.2022 Still struggling with miniature wraps but chatting to Jim from @Wilkur Forge.com.au was great today, because he suggested using hollow pipe for helping the bends...yay, progress ! #workingitout #challengingmyself #problemsolving #blacksmithlife #pagefrommysketchbook #sketchbook #plasticineillustration @ Townsville, Queensland

18.01.2022 Had a great chat with @Darryl Cooper today at @The Drill Hall Studio. He is the Blacksmith from the @ Historic Village Herberton. Love the comradeship between blacksmiths no matter where you meet each other around the world !
18.01.2022 Take Two - Making full size version of coffee table. #blacksmith #madeintownsville #coffeetable #mydesign
17.01.2022 Just have to attach the marble table top and laquer the base and it’s finished. My lovely customer will write the story of her great grandmother’s chocolate making marble table top which I will share and hopefully extra photos of it in its new home. It will be great to see it used again after such a long time in storage.#blacksmith #madeintownsville #coffeetable #mydesign #mydesignjourney #stillchallenging #plasticineisvital #workingitoutwithplasticine

15.01.2022 Jo and I developing a new style handle for a food board. For the blacksmiths out there we used 400mm of 10mm round mild steel. Tapered both ends by an extra 200mm in length, before shaping. Took us all day to figure it out but we like it ! #seatheme #boardhandle #experimenting #nicechallenge
14.01.2022 Building up stock for the warmer weather. Sitting outside at the end of the day or enjoying a picnic ! #itsoktodream #lazydaysatthebeach #picnictime #thinkingahead #endofdaygoals #winetimeisthebesttime

09.01.2022 Well..there is potential ! I know my legs are wonky but it shows I need to be much more accurate in construction and with thicker material and a larger size, I’m happy to proceed full scale. #workingitout #challengingmyself #problemsolving #blacksmithlife #pagefrommysketchbook #sketchbook #plasticineillustration
09.01.2022 My friends Colin and Wendy and Pepper the dog came to stay so of course visited @The Drill Hall Studio ...and they loved it ! #drillhallstudio #drillhallstudiotownsville #weekendworkshops
08.01.2022 This is how my steel starts off in my workshop And before that it is at @Townsville Steel and Wire. #thebasics #startatthebeginning #supportlocal #inmyworkshop #townsvilleartist
07.01.2022 Still wrapping with more challenges. I wasn’t able to access lower wraps so cut the temporary tacks to hold the legs in place from my steel table and used my leg vice. This worked a treat. #workingitout #challengingmyself #problemsolving #blacksmithlife #pagefrommysketchbook #sketchbook #plasticineillustration

Jo you’re a lifesaver #myhelper #blacksmith #madeintownsville #coffeetable #mydesign #mydesignjourney #stillchallenging #plasticineisvital #workingitoutwithplasticine
05.01.2022 Fun Fact.. we’ve been married 40 years today ! Martyn reckons he needs a medal. I reckon I need one too, but instead we settled on a @Brenda Stone Art piece which we’re both delighted with ! Thanks Brenda #brendstoneart #resinart #celebration #weddinganniversary #40thweddinganniversary #weddinganniversarygift
05.01.2022 Extra long tongs for reaching into my gas forge. Making life easier #longtongs #gasforge #inmyworkshop #blacksmithlife

04.01.2022 Nothing like a good soak in vinegar and water to clean off scale.#soakingtub #loveagoodsoak #cleaningscale
02.01.2022 Thank goodness I have the legs tack welded to the table with all these wraps especially as this is half sized and bends easily. Makes it extra awkward to move around the table 360 degrees though as my tables quite large. Interesting positions at times#design #workingitout #challengingmyself #problemsolving #blacksmithlife #pagefrommysketchbook #sketchbook #plasticineillustration @ Townsville, Queensland
