Even from early shed days, there was an interesting trend in the colour schemes in the shed, that paralleled where I was at in terms of equipment, and woodworking in general. From slow beginnings, almost a precursor stage where there was an influence of GMC Blue. This expanded somewhat, but then Triton orange appeared, and [...]

23 January 2012. My daughter’s 5th birthday, celebrated with a large party of family and friends a couple of days ago, and on her actual birthday with grandparents, lots more presents, and time. For a year or so before Jessica was born, I was heavily invested (timewise) in the Australian Woodwork Forums, moderating, writing and [...]

I had an interesting chat today with Promac (the importers/distributors of Tormek, Flai, BMI amongst others). We catch up occasionally, such as at the recent wood show where they created a number of new proud T7 owners. After my recent article in ManSpace, I wasn’t surprised that they rang.

One plane to find them One plane to bring them all And in the Woodshop bind them. I was speaking with Matt Reynolds at the show, apparently a long-time reader of Stu’s Shed, and from a plane sock he pulled out something he’d made a few weeks earlier. A plane, and what a plane! You’d [...]

Had a sudden urge to refine the layout of the shed – things were not working as I wanted after the last two additions out there, so I really wanted to get it back to properly functional out there. My first thought was to relocate the Torque Workcentre into the 3mx3m shed which would really [...]

Been watching my woodworking DVDs again recently (makes a good distraction while cooking!), and have been looking again at the Richard Raffan DVD from Taunton on Turning Boxes. Damn, but he makes it look easy. I was trying (without first reading any instructions, or reviewing videos etc) roughing out a bowl recently, and found it [...]

The first company has expressed a definite willingness to come onboard – Australian Wood Review, obviously specific details need to be worked out, and what the offers will be.
