Hi

I have been a lurker here for a while now, however have decided to be a bit more involved and post some of my projects.

I spent three months last year at Sturt School developing my skills on a Fine Furniture making course. This was the first item that I designed and made for the course. Also the first piece of furniture I had made since some el crappo Radiata Pine projects as a 12 yo at school. Thankfully this one turned out better IMHO.

Its probably more about learning joints and practice than anything, however I hate to waste timber so decided to design and make something useful. It now lives in our kitchen, holding some cook books and books on furniture,...

The two sections are seperate and I like it how the shelf just kind of finds its own level and place.

Cheers

Love the timber used amazing how its come out.

Sturt school next open days can't come quick enough

[Chief012]

Thanks wheelinround, I think the two timbers are a good match as well

I think the opening of the end of year exhibition for the year long course class is this weekend,..no just noticed flyer in front of me! Was last weekend, will have to get down there and check it out soon

That looks a lovely piece of work. Well done.

Sublime in its simplicity and wonderful execution!!

Very nice Cam, About time you showed some of your work.
With all that great new machinery you should be churning the projects out

[Chief012]

Thank you very much Wongo, artme & Tony I appreciate the kind words.

Its been busy here Tony (no time for biscuits), finished the table I was working on and am onto a small resto job for a friend. Still trying to make space to get set up properly!

When I can steal the camera back from SWMBO I will post a few more photos

Cheers

Very classy design and well executed Chief.
Looks like it can take virtually any size of magazine as well.
This is often a limiting factor of other closed designs.
I like it.
Good one!

Thanks Scribbly Gum very kind, I should probably post a photo of it with a book or magazine in it to give an idea of scale. I wrote a blog about my time at Sturt and when I posted these photos some of my friends thought it was a chair!

My initial plan was to use it on my desk for my manila job folders,..hence the supportive sides for floppy items. Ended up too nice to hide on my work desk hence its new job description!

I liked your blog as well btw,..looks like a nice part of the world you find yourself in,..well apart from some of the neighbours that is

Wheelin', the Sturt Graduating Students' exhibition is on at the moment.

I really love your design, & the timbers loke fantastic together. I would be very interested in a couple of dimensions if you would'nt mind sharing them, as I have been thinking about some sort of rack to keep my Wood Work Mags in & your design is perfect.

Great work, both the design & the build.
