  6. 3 Australian Wedding Locks

    Early in 2012, a woman in Australia found my woodworking web site. She asked me to build one big wood padlock and two smaller padlocks to use in her wedding ceremony. She called it their "locking ceremony". At the time, I did not understand why she needed 3 locks. I used Tim Detweiler's design...
  7. Simple Display Stand

    This stand is one requested by my wife. She is a lover of plants and vases so she wanted a display stand that she could use for both. The details of this design are mine, but obviously, I've borrowed from other similar stands that I've seen elsewhere. The wood is the most commonly available...

  9. Off Topic Coffee Lounge

  10. Marketplace Classifieds
    So I've done a quick google search and only managed to find a single retailer in Australia that sells holdfasts and sadly have to admit they looked pretty poorly made. I don't really need them urgently but does anyone know of a place I can get them? Or possibly an affordable import that...

  15. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I am being commissioned to make a custom cane. The cane needs to be oriental, and I'm wondering where I can get some inspiration. Is there a site or a recommended place to see asian themed projects. I was thinking the handle could be a Koi fish. The handle has to be ceylon satinwood or...
