25.01.2022 Its very satisfying when you are supported by skilled artisans to produce a finished article like this.

24.01.2022 More patterns for the restoration of Marble Hill in the Adelaide Hills. Post shoes for 150mm and 200mm veranda posts. #raretrades #adelaidehills

23.01.2022 Its not often I get to be involved in such a great project. Congratulations to The City of Fremantle for the foresight and all the contractors for their skills.

23.01.2022 Some days you never know what you are asked to make. Replica finial, in ironbark, for the restoration of the Marble Hill Governors summer residence. Cannot call it a ruin anymore. #marblehill #adelaidehills #raretrades

22.01.2022 Celebrating 35years in business today. What better way than starting a traditional timber pattern and corebox in timber.

20.01.2022 New pattern and coreboxes for cast Axle Box. Original drawing was dated 1931, last modified 1947. For the restoration of the former Sth Aust Railways coal tender. Now in the hands of Steamranger historical railway, Mt Barker SA. #madeinsouthaustralia #raretrades #adelaidehills

20.01.2022 Found this story on the ABC. Nothing like positive news for the metal casting trades.

19.01.2022 Finished the patterns for this project just on a year ago. Although only a small part of the restoration the replica cast crestings crown the building.

18.01.2022 Nice little valve body for a steam whistle. Just sweet traditional patternmaking. Relaxing.

18.01.2022 Restoration of the Vahland Fountain, Bendigo Vic. Design recreated by Glen Pittman, Heritage Castings, Adelaide. Patterns manufactured by myself, in the Adelaide Hills. Detail carving by Ken Vear of SA Woodcarving Academy. Castings to be poured and assembled at Billmans Foundry, Castlemaine. A true mixing of skills from South Australia and Victoria. #raretrades, #SAWoodcarvingAcadamy, #billmansfoundry.

18.01.2022 Satisfying when your work results in restorations such as this.

18.01.2022 Finally finished. #raretrades,#patternmakers

17.01.2022 Sad day for Australia

16.01.2022 Castings of balustrades finally in position on the Fremantle Town Hall. All that patternmaking over the Christmas/New Year period comes to fruition.

16.01.2022 Its what patternmakers do.

16.01.2022 Patterns for a 20 foot diameter gear wheel. Gear teeth cast in 6 degree segments and fully machined before assembly. #raretrades #madeinsouthaustralia

15.01.2022 Nice to ease back into work with something creative and not too taxing for a new year brain.

15.01.2022 Its not just South Australian industry being destroyed by huge power cost increases. Feeling empathy with manufacturers Australia wide.

15.01.2022 Pattern for Steamranger Heritage Railway. Reproduction of cast iron fire grate using original drawings and archaic dimensioning. #raretrades #steamranger #adelaidehills

14.01.2022 One of the joys of patternmaking is helping designers develop their concepts.#huntfurniture #handmade

11.01.2022 I do a bit of patternmaking keeping historic steam trains rolling and steamed up. I'm finishing this year by putting the brakes on a Pichi Richi locomotive. #raretrades #pichirichi
