24.01.2022 One of my students, Annette, made these very cleverly designed wooden bread tongs. A very effective tool and even has a magnet in the top to keep the tongs on the toaster. I believe it was such a success that her friends were wanting some as well! Great to see wonderful woodwork creations at the School of Fine Woodwork. #wood #woodenbreadtongs #breadtongs #woodwork #craft #design #creativity

24.01.2022 Ear and eye protection are extremely important when doing woodwork to ensure we stay injury free. I hope everyone has had a great week! #safetyfirst #earmuffs #safetyglasses #workshop #woodwork #safe #important #wood #workingwithwood

19.01.2022 Check it out. So much fun. Learned a lot about the structure of a board and the best way to make one. Looking forward to developing a surfboard making course of my own sometime soon.

19.01.2022 Ive been working on a custom furniture project for a friend and Im pleased to share that after all those years of cabinet making I havent lost it yet... However, it appears to me that I find more joy in teaching my students and seeing them create fabulous pieces of woodwork on their own! #woodwork #diy #teacher #workshop #furnituremaking

18.01.2022 Congratulations Leigh Drake on finishing an American Oak cabinet with soft close dovetailed drawers.

16.01.2022 A little throwback. This little ferris wheel was a gift from my wife I got a very long time ago. It was a fun source of inspiration for me when I decided to do the London Eye wooden sculpture and thought itd be nice to share with you all. #tbt #inspiration #antique #wooden #toy #ferriswheel #woodwork

13.01.2022 I was asked recently, if there was one thing I would do naturally, what would it be. And that is teaching woodwork to my students. Ive seen some remarkable skill development amongst individuals and also pure enjoyment. The workshop for most of our students is simply a place to meet others, retreat and work on their own little projects. I thoroughly enjoy their company and it gives me great pleasure to see students socialise and create their woodwork pieces that theyve set out to do. #woodworking #course #workshop #students #wood #woodwork #master #teacher #timber #drill #joy #community

12.01.2022 Drilling a hole in a piece of timber, for whatever purpose, is basically a very simple operation, but there is a wide variety of drill bits from which to choose to drill a particular hole. Here are a few that you may come across. High speed steel twist bit probably the most commonly used drill bit. Can be used to drill both timber and metal. Spade or flat bits These are helpful for large diameter holes, however they tend to produce inaccurate and untidy results. Forstner-...type bits Top of the range for most diameter requirements. Principal characteristic is that it drills a flat bottomed hole. Plug cutter The plug cutter cuts a ring in the timber leaving a core in the centre which is precise in diameter to fit into the hole drilled for it. Countersink This is a bit which widens the mouth of a drilled hole into a conical shape, so that a countersunk screw head can lie flush with the surrounding material. Hole saws Consist generally of a 6.35mm drill bit mounted into an arbor, through which an arm of adjustable length extends, which carries a cutter at one end that cuts the circle. To learn more about drill bits, go to crosland.com.au/book and get a copy of my book. #drillbit #drill #holes #wood #woodwork #bits #timber #workshop #book #learning See more
