Thread: Project Ideas

Andy that would be books, magazines, walking past a store which has a piece in it Antique stores, web sites, and you think heck I can whip that up in a weekend.

This is the best pictorial reference site featuring all the great modern woodies. Check out both the first and second decade. If you have a slow connection, dont bother as its huge.

My favorite site/blog. You can spend days looking at this, and check the book section out, its a ripper.

Evenfall Woodworks


And last but not least, dont forget the "new" google images. Its simply sensational. Type in anything and the new format of pictures pop up so much better than the old format. I love it

Thanks for the links- much appreciated!

I might even go to a woodwork gallery. I went to one in the hunter valley last year, they had some amazing work.

Andy Trend Timber at Windsor are having an Open weekend 13th 14th 15th August lots of woodies groups and people on display come along.

I'll be there for sure!
I like the look of their new store, I visited a little while ago.
Hopefully I can learn something

Lignum,

Thank you so much for this link. Better than reading a book. The commentary on each piece was a little like the waffle you get with wine evaluations but it gives a great deal of insight into what these craftspeople are trying to achieve. James Krenov's work is truly inspiring and his philosophy is there in the piece- amazing.
Thanks again,
Graham

Lignum - thanks very much for both links ! Excellent stuff

Lots of very useful stuff on the Evenfall site, which I had inexplicably missed in my web travels.

Ray - thanks for the heads up on Trend, I'd forgotten about that. Might go up on the Friday, before all the free snags get scoffed.....

Cheers

Anyone go to the open day?
I went today - no discounts on wood but a couple of demos and work on display. I was only there for a short while, but did enjoy the time spent there.

Yup - I went along on the Friday. Couldn't move for turning demos.......

The new premises are a massive improvement. Much more space to display timbers, with the odd machine dotted around to tempt the unwary.
