24.01.2022 Sunny timber and sunny flowers. Its a good feeling sending pieces on to their forever home! #furnituredesign #woodworking #melbournemakers #woodshop #messmate #diningtabledesign #interiordesign #timbertable #workshoplife
24.01.2022 What do you guys use to get timber pure black? Analine dye? Stains? ? This Recycled Blackbutt outdoor bench is treated with @livosaustralia black decking oil. Great sheen and depth of pigment. #timberfinish #timberstain #reclaimedwood #outdoorfurnituredesign #furnituredesign #joinery #japanesejoinery www.douglasfirdesign.com.au
21.01.2022 I had to add a bunch of little oak stitchers to stabilise the cracks in this chunk of old Ironbark. The cavities are getting filled with a black epoxy putty after the glue has dried. #customfurniture #recycledtimber #madewithwood #handmade #moderndesign
21.01.2022 I go through phases where it seems all my jobs are panel and ply and other times it’s all hardwood. I generally prefer working with hardwoods but for custom cabinets like this I do love the black birch ply. Custom leather drawer pull and mottled blue tweed on this reading nook under the stairs. ... ... ...

20.01.2022 Please enjoy this video of @terra_rosa_gear @quailwooddesigns and I trying to fit a purlin in a place it wouldnt fit. Turns out the engineers had installed the beam in backwards resulting in the gap being about 10mm too short. Eventually we got it fixed and finished the workshop mezzanine after much confusion and frustration. #buildingfail #measuretwicecutonce #steelwork #workshop #renovation
20.01.2022 Social isolation means I have to film my own @timbecon vids for a bit then send the footage to @shelton_muller_photographer for editing. I may have some cameras but I dont have the camera skills that Shelton does. Im testing lighting setups and camera settings. Im grateful to be able to keep working for now and my thoughts go out to everyone struggling out there.
19.01.2022 Love in the time of Carona. Today marks 13 years with @nikki_gibson___ and I feel lucky to be isolating with this little family. Flowers picked from our Kinglake garden and dinner at home with the brown fur child. I hope everyone is staying well out there!

19.01.2022 There is a meditative beauty in batch processing efficiently. Little aluminium brackets for a special project! #metalwork #drillpress #workshoptips #woodworkingtipsandtricks
18.01.2022 I had to clean out some super long mortises today for the @benchcrafted Hi Vise build. Nice square edges with a tip from @garyrizzolo the guitar maker. Clamp a square piece of stock along the scribe line to maintain the line and the angle the whole way! Everyday I realise how much I have to learn about woodworking. #workshop #woodworkingtips #woodworkingvideo #morticeandtenon #benchcrafted #handtools #reclaimedwood #furnituredesigner #melbournemakers
18.01.2022 Just here making visual candy with my @benchcrafted hi vise build. Timber is recycled Blackbutt. All parts are built and ready for assembly. #woodworkingtools #handtools #woodworker #woodshop #woodworker #reclaimedwood #visualmerchandising #contentcreator #procrastination
18.01.2022 More pantorouter experiments! I may have butchered a few templates to get there but Im getting closer to my X-tenon dream. What I need now is a CNC to make templates. #pantorouter #cncwoodworking #modernwoodworking #melbournemakers #woodshop #furnituredesign #joinery #woodporn
16.01.2022 I often forget to take proper product shots. The workshop is always too full of stuff and Im in a hurry to get it to the customer. I like the idea of taking pieces to an actual studio but when they are this big and heavy its all just a bit too hard!! #furnituredesign #productphotography #diningtable #madeinmelbourne #woodworkstudio #designstudio #makerspace #woodworking #melbournemakers #customfurniture #timberandsteel www.douglasfirdesign.com.au
15.01.2022 Big Red in her studio home at @timbecon I make sure to drop in for visits regularly to make sure they are treating her well. #photoshoot #workbench #workbenchbuild #workshop #woodworking
15.01.2022 A little dovetail detail for your Thursday evening. Some very pretty Redgum timber on a small box project! #boxmaker #redgum #dovetails #joinerydetail #pantorouter #furniture #furnituremaker #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworker #woodworkmelbourne
15.01.2022 The only type of physical contact allowed right now. It just needs some slow jazz. #socialdistancing #notouching #covid_19 #stayhome #touchwood #joineryporn #beautifulwoodworking #woodporn #furnituredesigner

13.01.2022 Workshop in full studio mode for @timbecon today. With @shelton_muller_photographer. I also got the second coat of finish on the messmate dining table with timber from @timberrevival.for.makers. Many irons in the proverbial fire. #furnituredesign #woodworking #pantorouter #melbournemakers #woodshop #youtubewoodworkers #onlinecontentcreator #routertable #woodworkingvideo
13.01.2022 I loved making this dining table with benches. All recycled messmate with through tenons. #kitcheninspo #woodworker #customfurniture #melbournemakers #timberfurniture #madewithwood #messmate #handmadefurniture #furnituredesign
13.01.2022 I got to spend a few more minutes working on this @pantorouter.usa template today. All I need now is a 3D printer!! (And a whole bunch of programming knowledge!) #pantorouter #timberjoinery #modernwoodworking #furnituredesign #woodworking #melbournemakers #woodshop #toolmaker www.douglasfirdesign.com.au
12.01.2022 The time honoured tradition of restoring a beat up Falcon. May she soar again. This has been sitting at the back of my shelf for years since someone gave it to me. Yes that is tape and wire holding it together. I might turn it into a scrub plane. #fordfalcon #oldtools #handplane #toolrestoration #aussietradition #handtools #joinery
12.01.2022 Pantorouter piston fit. Im impressed with what this machine can do. There is a satisfying pop pulling this joint apart as it creates a mild vacuum. Im mainly interested in its ability to create visible through tenons. Will continue to report!! #pantorouter #morticeandtenon #finewoodwork #woodworkingmachinery #woodworker #madewithwood #woodworkingtips
12.01.2022 Spotted gum desk build from a while back. We are lucky to have such stunning timber here in Aus even if it dulls every blade it touches. #furnituredesign #woodworking #melbournemakers #woodshop #spottedgum #scandinaviandesign #deskinspo #diningtabledesign www.douglasfirdesign.com.au
12.01.2022 Two vic ash cabinets with steel firewood insert and some floating bird shelves!! The piece on the right had to be lifted above head height to clear the decorative skirting before being lowered into position. It was an adventure. #firewoodstorage #bookshelf #customfurnituredesign #floatingshelf #timberlove #furnituredesign #woodworking #melbournemakers #handmade #indoorplants
11.01.2022 Just another giant CD storage shelf. Nothing to see here. I have calculated it will hold around 550 CDs. So almost all of them. #compactdisc #90sfashion #secrettrack #timetravel #cdplayer
11.01.2022 Isolation in style with lady and dog. What a weird time to be alive. Crisis makes me feel the need for human connection but CoVi says no. Stay sane folks. #socialisolation #covid19 #browndog #beautifulsunset
11.01.2022 Last year I decided go to NMIT to learn how to weld. Its been a journey but Im getting faster. Today involved a lot of sanding, grinding, welding, grinding, resin fill and more grinding. #tafe #welder #timberandsteel #diningtabledesign #customtable #customfurniture #melbournemakers #woodworking #furnituredesign #woodshop #onthegrind #workshopchaos #hugetable @westsystemepoxy @unimigwelders @timberrevival.for.makers
10.01.2022 This recycled ironbark might have destroyed a bunch of my blades but it certainly shines up nicely. #melbournemakers #woodworking #recordcollector #vinylcommunity #interiordesign #recycledtimber #customfurniture #handmade #furnituredesign
08.01.2022 Work in Progress. Double level bar using recycled hardwood and black ply. Im going through a black ply phase right now. Probably the excitement of a new panel saw. #kitchendesign #bardesign #homebar #whiskeybar #recycledtimber #customfurniture
08.01.2022 X-tenon success on the Pantorouter. This little machine has a lot of scope for creativity and lets me create joinery which would be pretty challenging otherwise . . . . . . . . . . . #pantorouter #woodtools #woodworkforall #woodworkingskills #joinery #furnituredesign #woodporn #wooddesign #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkshop #woodart
08.01.2022 I made this rolling kitchen island for some good folks. I was able to use some really unique ex chook shed blackbutt for the top as well as Birch film ply. . . . . . . . . #woodshop #woodworking #kitchenisland #customkitchens #recycledtimber #reclaimedwood #interiordesign #industrialdesign #furnituredesign
07.01.2022 Just a little joinery detail from my Outpost table. The Blackwood strip covers some heavy duty steel bugles which draws the three pieces of timber in tight. ... ... ...

06.01.2022 We are building a huge Messmate dining table this week. Nice timber from @timberrevival.for.makers . Plenty of @festool dominos and a whole world of clamps. Thanks @quailwooddesigns for the hand as always. #diningtable #woodworking #furnituredesign #melbournemakers #workshop #timelapse #woodworkingtips
06.01.2022 I had a good install day! One small mod to fit a power point but otherwise all to plan. All the Tas Oak was salvaged from Monash uni chemistry department a couple years ago. #recycledtimber #homebar #whiskeybar #poolroom #singlemalt #moderndesign #interiordesign
06.01.2022 Free woodworking demos with beer and snacks!! This thurs evening I will be presenting with a bunch of other makers for the second @timbecon Live event. We will work through a woodworking project from timber selection all the way to glue and finishing.

04.01.2022 Kinglake really put on a show last night. So did @terra_rosa_gear #sunsets #mountaincabin #hottub #forestbathing #flamezone #nationalparks
03.01.2022 Grain Direction!! It took me longer than I would like to admit to take this on board when I first started out. Its not hard once you know!! Thanks to @shelton_muller_photographer for the vid. @woodworkingtips #workingwithwood #madewithwood #handmade #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkingtips #woodworkingmachinery
03.01.2022 Wood nerds assemble!! What timber is this? In a recycled mixed hardwood pack. It feels like iron bark or spotty. #hardwood #recycledtimber #australiantimber #woodnerd #timber
02.01.2022 Im pretty happy with this Luban low angle plane. Great curls on some splintery Blackbutt. Didnt like some iron bark I was working on though!! #handtools #woodworking #woodworker #handplane #jackplane #hardwood #benchcrafted #handmade #beautiful #timberlove #reclaimedwood
02.01.2022 Leather and Timber . Mixed recycled hardwood and full grain Scottish leather. #furnituredesign #woodworking #melbournemakers #leatherwork #upholsterydesign #diningroom #diningtable #joinerydesign #reclaimedwood #reclaimedwoodfurniture www.douglasfirdesign.com.au
