23.01.2022 Having a few beehives as a hobby and taking a a brake from my woodworking, I decided to make myself a bee hive lifter to make it easier if I want to lift the t...op box from a hive to inspect the next box below or completely lift the whole hive onto a truck or trailer to shift to a new location. I was going to make a manual winch to do the job but decided to use a 12 volt winch that I had on my trailer to make things easier. There are many different models you can buy on the net. I have long past being capable of physical lifting, as a three box hive can weigh up to 120 lbs or more, which is a good lift for two men. The cost to make was very little as I had most of the material laying around. See more

21.01.2022 Ron is highly talented in Woodturning and working and over the years has made an array of one off pieces that would blow the mind of any novice. Ron made this piece a few years ago now and is a favorite in his collection. It even has moving parts, just like a real Saxophone! He even had an article written about him and the Saxophone in The Australian Wood Worker Magazine. We will post the Article at a later date. Feel free to share

18.01.2022 Having made the last wooden table lamp, I remembered I had a old kero lamp in my shed and thought how wood that look made out of wood, so here it is.Most of the... timber used is Camphor Laurel, When I turned up the piece that is glass in the original I knew that the light wouldn't shine through it for a major effect so I did a few router cuts to let it shine through. The stranded electrical lamp set up was too large for the job and I ended up getting a miniature bulb and socked which suited it nicely. See more

08.01.2022 Wooden Conical Shell. Hollow like a real shell. Handmade by Ron Girdler
08.01.2022 Back to the wood turning. I picked up a log out of my timber supply ,thinking that it was a timber called Dead finish, but when I started to cut it up I realize...d it wasn't, only the bark was similar. When the base was turned it had no great appeal, it didn't have any standout features, so I routed eight vertical groves around the top and added pieces of camphor laurel, which did the trick. Instead of a cloth shade I decided to make a wooden out also with Camphor inserts to match the base. The fill in sections were also camphor to match the base,they put through the thickness-er and drum sander, down to 1.5 mm in the hope the light would show the features. any natural flaws were left to allow light to shine through.
