Hi, I am currently a year 12 student in NSW. I am unsure about what to do after this year and I am considering a career in the furnishings industry, but I have some concerns.
Firstly, is there a real future in the Australian furnishings industry? what with flat pack/knockdown furniture being made faster and sold cheaper.
Secondly, would it be better to go for a career in working with timber or just to pursue it as a hobby?
Here are some pictures of the project I made for my major work for the HSC :D
(I know its standing on chairs but I did make a brass bracket for it so it can be held on the wall :P)
