Been very busy the last few days, so a bit quiet on the posting front! Had another good course on the weekend, with lots of sawdust made. Tried my hand at an end-grain chopping board – a simple project but one I’d not gotten around to doing. Nothing elaborate (I don’t exactly get much time [...]

Spent the day working at the Ballarat Wood Show. I’ve always enjoyed the provincial centre wood shows – they have a great feel to them, and a lot less stressful/pressure than the big ones. Good chance to catch up with a lot of people, and some great bargains. The show has a heavy craft basis, [...]

Off to demonstrate at the wood show in Wendouree tomorrow morning. I will only be there for the day – it’s about 5 hours driving just for the round trip. Should be a good day – wood shows are always fun, and the small local ones have a charm of their own. FWIW, if you [...]

I was very fortunate to be generously invited to attend the One Day Router Workshop, run by a very recognisable personality in Australian Woodworking – Richard Vaughan. The course was organised by Professional Woodworker Supplies and the Woodworking Warehouse. The course was well attended (and fully booked), so it was not only a good day [...]

A bit of an era draws to a close today (although it is a bit of a soft ending). My Triton 2000 Workcentre and 2400W Triton saw will sell in a couple of hours time. Feeling a bit nostalgic about it. Back in Christmas 2001 when my wife and I were married, I had a [...]

Going though some old files, and came across this 7 second clip of a modification I made to the GMC thicknesser. Guess this actually qualifies as my first woodworking video (despite its short length). I’d forgotten the clip even existed! Not sure of its vintage – probably 2004 – 2005. Not that long ago, and [...]

Had a meeting with Triton and the Victorian Triton Demonstrators tonight and lots of really interesting info came out of it. Unfortunately I can’t talk about much of it yet – but will bring what I can when I can. So, what I think is safe to say: Saw the new (2008) Triton catalogue. Over [...]

A friend of mine over in Japan asked today about the story behind my router table, and although its history is covered (and spread) over many posts both here and on the Australian Woodwork Forum, I haven’t ever really bought it all together into one consolidated tale. So here goes. When the whole Triton thing [...]

I’ve been giving more and more thought to the idea of upgrading my tablesaw from the Triton Workcentre 2000 to something in the order of a 10″ or 12″ cabinet saw. One of the reasons I can manage this without an inherent sense of loss, is I’d still have all my demonstration gear, including that [...]

Had a bit of an excursion down to the shed tonight – nothing too dramatic, just an hour and a half or so. The only difference – no agenda, no camera, and no rush, and it was just a pleasant time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about abandoning videos or anything, I’ve still [...]

Triton in Australia
There has been much discussion recently here “downunder” wondering about Triton, the brand, and what was once the flagship – the Workcentre 2000. Traditionally, the centre of the Triton universe was a tablesaw (the Workcentre 2000 (WC2000) and the Router Table, and accessories to match (finger jointer, biscuit jointer, height winder and so on). A [...]
