11.01.2022 One of the great joys of being a maker is seeing your creations reimagined through the eyes of another. #maker #mandrakeworkshop #handmade #woodcraft #recycledtimber #workislovemadevisible

10.01.2022 Whisper-thin plane shavings make a perfect buffing material. Always careful for your wood wisdom @weeatthesun, and willingness to share. #woodfinishing #woodworking #handcrafted #madeinmelbourne #mandrakeworkshop #making

10.01.2022 Trying out a dry-run of simple custom jig for special new mezuzzah I'm making. The first piece to go in is the body of the mezuzzah, followed by a trip of blackwood wedged in place & curved around side of body. Sorry for the jarring footage the curls #jig #handmade #woodworking #mezuzah #madeinmelbourne #reclaimyouheritage #australianhardwood #mandrakeworkshop #learningtolovethemountain

10.01.2022 Most recent mezuzzah & quite possibly my favorite. Blackheart sassafras & ancient redgum. Now in its home in Tel Aviv with Hannah & Eitan. #mezuzahman #mezuzah #handcrafted #workislovemadevisible #sassafras #ancestraltwine #ancientredgum #mandrakeworkshop #madeinmelbourne

09.01.2022 A bit of impromptu holiday bushcraft with dear Talia. Weaving bamboo into a trellis for beans to grow on #bushcraft #weaving #overunder #bamboo @timber_and_tide

08.01.2022 Mezuzzah, before & after finishing with China white oil. It's been a while since I've used this finish, stoked about the colors it's bringing out. #woodfinishing #woodworking #mandrakeworkshop #bettydavis #mezuzah #handcrafted #bespoke #making #workislovemadevisible #damnthatssexy

08.01.2022 A little story board for today's bridle joints. Pic #1&2: showing v simple jig & how stock sits in it. #2 Jig slides along panel saw fence safely holding stock upright & keeping hands well clear of blade. ( my hand might look close in photo, but blade becomes entirely covered by jig & stock, minimising risk) #4 you can see here cuts done from both sides, giving me nice clean internal faces + waste section. I'm not actually using a ripping blade for this, but crosscut blade a...s I find the cut to be cleaner (tho I have another newer crosscut blade I keep for my finishing sharp cuts) #5 shifted the fence back a little to remove the waste in centre. #6 using razor sharp chisels remove rest of waste & achieve nice clean interior upper face. #7 result (Sorry for the word count, but I wanted to explain process) #joinery #handmade #woodworking #chestnut #bespoke #madeinmelbourne #furniture #gotwood #mandrakeworkshop #workislovemadevisible #bridle See more

03.01.2022 Maple seems to be my most intimate partner at the moment. Gentle & firm, completely elegent. She is forgiving & carries the light effortlessly. I am satiated. #mandrakeworkshop #woodworking #furnituremaking #damnthatssexy #maple #handmade #oooooph #love #made #curves

02.01.2022 Though I don't really have any new year resolutions for 2017, one of my intentions for this year is be much more dogged about picking up rubbish when i see it. This afternoon I was scrambling over the rocks down at Mt Martha, and saw so much plastic everywhere but had nothing to collect it all in. Then I hopped over a rocky peak and found this retired abalone net bag, massive score! ..filled it to the brim in 30 min with all kinds of treasures; plastic bottles, bait bags, chi...p packets, a snorkel, thongs, a plastic tent peg & a old rod..! Of course I ask myself does one person picking up 50 pieces of rubbish on a beach make any difference to global environmental well being ? The answer comes, the most powerful effect lies in a shift in our relationship to place. How do we connect with place? Do we share an intimacy with this silent giant that is our home? How much is place part of who we are? And in turn, how does that personal relationship expand our collective culture & narrative for change? #grassroots #lovewhereyoustand #whenyoupraymoveyourfeet #loveisinthelittlethings #jumponthebandwagon

02.01.2022 What better way to sample this season's homemade pickles than with your own handmade pickle fork! @danielteitel #maple #carving #dylangarlik #handcrafted #mandoesdrake #madeinmelbourne #animalvegtablemineral #goddamn #grateful
