    Default Tom Plamann - woodworker par excellance.

    Every now and again I go to Tom's site to see what he is up to and to reset my over inflated opinion of my capabilities.

    Have a look at the 'office' he built in his workshop with a dual groined ceiling, while you're there, have a dekko at his 'desk'.

    Maybe his new workshop works will be of interest to you, as will the breakfast booth or the high school theatre project.

    Fantastic stuff, do yourself a favour and browse the site.

    The Plamman site appears to be bandjaxed? I've tried everything except sacrificing small furry things and I can't get in; do remember seeing it a while back though....maybe his subscription ran out?

    There is nothing wrong with the links, I tested them after I posted them. Tom's site is either having a problem or he took it down for some reason - probably too many foreigners peeking at his secrets .

    Never say it cant be done, Their are three types of people in this world, their are those that watch it happen, those that wonder what happened and those that make it happen.

    I feel so .....insignificant.

    Must be a hoax, probably big production company working behind the scenes like those bloody make-over shows.

    Yeh, there's no way they would get those two day make-overs done without a lot of hands and a lot of planning. There's no way you'd get a twenty odd grand extension/renovation done in a couple of days with the number of hands that they show on camera. If they do, then they'd make more money sending them out in the market. Generally, labour and material costs are about equal, so, half a dozen people turning over ten grand a day means that each pair of hands is generating almost a grand a day in labour.
    Back on topic, this Plamman dude certainly knows his stuff. I'd imagine that he's in big demand at the high end of the market, and I'm sure that you'd pay a premium for his services. The stuff he produces, especially the compound curved stuff would be very time consuming. I remember a staircase that I built for a client out of stringybark which had a 180 degree return. I had to carve a drop return on the shaped handrail and it took me a whole day to laminate and carve it with an arbortek. It was still cheaper than the quote I got from a staicase company though. They wanted $600 just for the drop return. The finished product was excellent and the client was happy. I wish I'd taken some photos at the time. It's very satisfying to succesfully take on a new challenge that you haven't tried before.
