Update

It's a while since I did anything here and I want to show Tony and Marie my workshop and some of my stuff, so just for you two; here goes.

This is a desk I made for the office. It was a project for the cabinet making apprentices where I was working at a trade school and the apprentice who started this one was a dropkick who made a total mess of the whole thing before he left his apprenticeship. So I brought it home and fixed it up and then finished it off. The wood is leatherwood from tasmania with a leatherette insert in the top and the finish is Tung oil.

This is a dressing table I made for Kaye. The same story as the desk, but a different apprentice. This apprentice was another dropkick idiot who stuffed up the project. Samewood and same finish.

This is the lathe, drill press and dust extractor (outside the door), with a corner of the workbench

The view from the compound saw end with one bench grinder, two wetstone grinders and the workbench on the left; drill press across the top; lathe, bandsaw, benchsaw and shaper on the right. The white thing on the workbench was a work in progress, a holder for the routers and bits.

This is the view from the doorway. The sawbench, shaper, and compound saw are on the left with the grinder station on the right at the far end of the workbench. I have actually finished the router cabinet and it's now in place at the side of the grinder station.

This is the compound mitre saw with a restoration project sitting in front of it. The restoration is a couple of bridge chairs that need a good cleanup. The fabric is original and in good order, so I will find an upholsterer to take it off while I clean and frenchpolish the woodwork, then he can put the rags back on the frame. I've had the chairs for three years now so I'm in no hurry to finish it.
