All in a day’s work. #handtools #handtoolwoodworking #handtoolsonly #woodworking Can clamps are inexpensive to make and they do a great job in clamping light duty stuff like small boxes, mouldings, face to face glue ups etc. They work great when you build them right but when you don’t the cam doesn’t stay put and the jaws release. It happens. #handtoolschool #handtoolsonlyshop #handtoolsonly #handtoolwoodworking I use a spokeshave to make shallow concave shapes. A well tuned spokeshave with a freshly honed blade sings in use. This spokeshave is cheapest tool I own. I did some minor prep work to it to make it as close as I could get it to work as a premium tool. HNT Gordon spokeshaves is the rave at the moment and would love to give it a go. For now though mine does the job. #handtools #handtoolsonly #handtoolwoodworking Are they both the same species? No the one the right is American black walnut and left is Queensland walnut. Amazing! Separated by 18,000km by sea and their identical in appearance but not in properties. Another order is finished, and I'm thrilled with how the colour turned out. The wood is Tasmanian oak with a classic polish that I created. These jewellery boxes are available in four distinct wood species: red oak, Tasmanian oak, white ash, and black walnut, and cost AU$180. The black walnut will most likely be available as long as supplies last. A surgical sharp blade is what differentiates between handwork and machine work. There is no brute force in handwork. You work with nature. You work in unison with nature.  With ever shaving that peels off of your blade releases an aroma that’s pleasing to the nose.  It’s therapeutic and somewhat spiritual. It brings peace to the mind that takes you far away from your worries. It’s meditative, contemplative and elegant.  #handwork #handtoolwoodworking It's just the way I choose to work wood. My friend once said " What I make is for you, how I make it is for me." #handtools #handtoolsonly #handtoolwoodworking #handmade #handmadeinaustralia This is a traditional method of ebonising wood. In my opinion you cannot create the same effect with stains and dyes Lord knows how I’ve tried. Through trial and error I have also come up with different ways of creating bland wood into exotic natural looking timber using this method. #handmade #handmadeinaustralia #handwork My daughter gave birth yesterday to my beautiful first granddaughter Liyana.  Grandpa’s little elf will be placing maaany orders for years to come
