With the wormer months coming to an end, it's been hectic trying to get a few projects.

A recent job for a local customer here in Goolwa meant a lot of time was taken up getting it right.

A very damaged plaster frame dating back to possibly the 1930's was in need of some tender love and care. Something I 've not done for at least 10+ year to which would mean going back to re-learn some old techniques. Thankfully these days there are better products available to make the job easier.

A very unique frame to which I've never seen the lie's of before, so this will need some special attention to get it right.

Below is some of the damage prior to restoration and cleaning.
The frame size was around 120x50cm.
More photos to come.

The completed project for Ian Jolly delivered the day before Christmas ready for his Grand Son. Talk a very lucky little boy.

This easiel is strong enough to withstand at least 30Kay per hour winds, tested the Sunday before delivery. Created from pine timber with Golden Oak stain with 4 layers of varnish along with an orange oil furniture polish.
Couldn't help but to draw a questioning Santa.

The design has several different functions so that the item can be used as a blackboard or later when the boy grows up it can be used for school art projects.

May it bring many more happy days for the entire family as there is also talk for a bit of fun to use it as a menu board for family gathering.

Can make to order, feel free to email me.

Update on work in progress for commission for Ian Jolly's young Grandson (Victor Harbor SA) of the Blackboard Easel. As you can see the process of putting together each component then to the following stage of application of stain and varnish. Everything must be done separately before assembly.

Lots more to do.

Enjoy, I'll keep you post ASAP

Quick update on the follow up of the easel with some more work in progress. Lots of engineering to make sure it will be sturdy enough to withstand a hammering by a young child.

As you will be able to see the uprights have additional weight added at the bottom to create a little more stability.
You won't get this special added feature in that imported flimsy disposable crap. Made to last generations to come.

And now to something where I can make someone happy.
A commission by Ian Jolly of Victor Harbor area wanted an easel for his 3YO Grandson for Christmas.

We decided that the easel would be something he could grow into which would mean he could use it for his blackboard drawing experimentation and later to be used for his school art projects or anyone else who like to dabble in the arts.

lots of thought went into designing and creating the work to ensure it was durable and sturdy enough to withstand a bit of rough treatment.

So this is where it all began, the images below show the progress starting back in October of 25. Here is the first stage which doesn't look like much at the moment, however it shows the process of how the support cross sections will interlock with the uprights. Then the adjustment holes are drilled out using the press. Lots of work but it all needs to happen in sequence as it is too difficult to adjust later.

Busy, busy and busy.
Well work has picked up after all of these years of hope that the wheel may just turn around one day.

The Swish Table has finished and sadly there just some people I can't make happy despite bending over backwards in the process including hurting my back doing so.

Updates on the other people I've managed to make happy.

Looks a few of my posts aren't being uploaded.

Here is progress of a recent customers project.
A huge project, building a table for a game called Swish for the vision impaired and blind community. The project is massive as this is not a game for the faint hearted, it's fast and furious. Played on a flat 3.6x1.6m surface with a solid screen in the middle. The ball is of a hard plastic with a bell inside.

More images to come.
Below shows the joinery techniques used to make it strong enough to withstand a beating.
