25.01.2022 Proof of life #2. The Rock Maple top is flat now, so it's a case of cleaning up the edges (about 22mm thick x 3.5 metres) with a sharp, well tuned Stanley 5. #deskrebuild #royschackfinefurniture ... #brisbaneschooloffinewoodwork #samfordvalley See more

25.01.2022 At the back end of the workbench week, I'm showing my students how to tune up the @hntgordon shoulder vice. They've both invested in one and they couldn't be happier. You're welcome. #brisbaneschooloffinewoodwork #hntgordon ... #mycomposition #workbenchbuild See more

24.01.2022 Boxes done and delivered. #royschackfinefurniture #keepsakeboxes #tasmanianblackwood

23.01.2022 Boxes in Acacia melanoxylon (Tasmanian Blackwood). Mitre joints supported by splines. They add so much to the solid timber joint both structurally and aesthetically. The plyed Blackwood is a simple way to address the frameless lid - something I didn't want on these boxes, but I also didn't want to just throw in a slab of solid wood which, being uncaptured, could move dramatically over time. #royschackfinefurniture #keepsakeboxes #acaciamelanoxylon ... #tasmanianblackwood #splinedmitres See more

20.01.2022 A beautiful month. Isaac @isaacmckay86 finished up yesterday.....and he was dead keen to do the throw. Mike finished his table today, and after we took it for a stroll to the river behind the shop, he decided to give it a crack. What....it's liberating. Dovetails and a trip to @carbatec tomorrow. #brisbaneschooloffinewoodwork #monthlongbasics #halltable... #tabletoss #samford #southpineriver See more

19.01.2022 That strangely handsome man @markowitzdesign is MC'ing an interesting panel discussion. Repost via @vicwoodworkers I'm looking forward to catching up with some fabulous Australian designer/makers. ... We’re excited to be a part of Craft Contemporary, a new festival by @craftvictoria exploring how craft is evolving in the 21st century across jewellery, objects, furniture, fashion and contemporary art. We have invited four prominent furniture practitioners from across Australia to discuss their methods and what happens in the transition from conceptual idea to physical reality, and whether anything is lost or gained in translation. Panellists: Laura McCusker @theladyinthewhiteute Roy Schack @bluecheak Nathan Day @nathan_day_design Darren Fry @darrenmkfry MC: Adam Markowitz @markowitzdesign Join us on Wednesday October 14 from 6pm to 7pm for the panel discussion, a free online event open for everyone.

18.01.2022 MK Fremad II (1888) fekk vernestatus av Riksantikvaren i 2008. I 2016 kom den på slipp hjå oss, etter at rigg, styrehus, maskin og dekks-installasjonar vart set...te på land. Det viste seg fort at rehabiliteringa ville bli mykje meir omfattande enn kva ein førebels synfaringsrapport frå 2008 rekna med. På fredag var det sjøsetting, og no ligg Fremad II igjen på sjøen. Her har me samla alle videoane frå restaureringa av Fremad II: / In 2008 the fishing vessel Fremad II(1888) was listed by The Directorate for Cultural Heritage. In 2016 the ship was put on our slipway, and it soon became clear that it would be a more comprehensive restoration that the preliminary condition report had estimated. On friday the ship was launched! Weve made a compilation of all the videos from the restoration of Fremad here: Video: Silje Ensby Launch footage: Kristian Wolski, Mads Dragsund, Kolbjørn Ask, Lars A. Oma.

15.01.2022 As I mentioned in my last post, @sturtschoolforwood_students had their graduation last weekend, as well as their end of year exhibition 'Twenty Twenty' Both events were so beautiful. Tears were shed by many. Not me. I don't cry. This was truly an extraordinary year for all involved; students, their family and loved ones, tutors, Sturt admin and support staff. Yet, magic happened. If you get a chance, please, drop by the gallery and have a look at this phenomenal body of work...s. For those that can't, I'll post a few more times with more detailed shots, including some taken whilst I was there spending time with these groovers in third term. #sturt2020 #sturtschoolforwood #sturtgalleries #mittagong #southernhighlands #newsouthwales #sturtcraftcentre

13.01.2022 New student project done. It's simple, but it entails some good hand skills, machinery use and some thinking. I won't lie. Throwing this in the air with one hand whilst taking a pic with the other hand was a bit difficult. There's a one month basics coming up in April with places available, as well as a couple of week long sessions coming up this month.

07.01.2022 As week 2 has drawn to a lovely close, I'm transported back to my nightmare time as a student at Sturt, struggling with every step, every process involved in this breadboard exercise. I mean....I really struggled. My board started off at about 28mm thick. By the time I was done, it was 17mm. But after ten days (these two students took a 5 relaxed days), I got it. Damn it. I got it, and loved it. But I nearly gave up, seriously considering going back to merchant banking (Bank of America). #brisbaneschooloffinewoodwork #monthlongbasics #sturtbreadboard

03.01.2022 I think we all need a bit of this. A half hour breather. Just clearing minds, maybe taking a trip into a good book, drinking a nice coffee, and having a brownie sent from the gods. Thank you @tinandtimbercoldbrew ...... it's a simple drink, I broke the rules maybe....just water and ice. The brownie from @jan_black_dog_woodworks is omgyum.
