Thread: Woodworking workshop for hire - Brisbane

Hey, Dave - I know this post is 5 years old but did this workshop for hire end up happening? I'm needing access to a jointer to do some panels for a tabletop - my hand planing skills are woeful.

dont hold your breathe Dave, he made this one post and disappeared

Looks like he might still be around in Brisbane handmade contemporary furniture | Cummins Design | Brisbane

There’s a few other refo’s from Sydney who have ‘shops and hold classes in Brizzy.
Bob Howard, Richard Vaughan and Roy Schack.
Dunno about one off use of their kit but it’s worth a phone call.

I would never let anyone else use my machines, especially renting it out.

The cost to repair the machines is horrendously high if the operator made a simple error but try to force it in, and the liability if they hurt themselves.

No onw who is not set up to do so will allow you to use their machines or anything else in their workshop $20,000,000 insurance is very expensive, you may however find someone willing to do the job for a reasonable fee.

They do let you use their machines for hourly fees. For some you need special induction and some will be operated by one of their carpenters.

I have used them before and they are really helpful.

Do we know if these guys are still around? Tried getting in touch but with no joy.

dont know the answer but do some googling into local community workshops or similar, not the same as mens sheds.

Makerspace Adelaide - Think it. Make it. Share it. there is another one out Holden Hill way that makes me drool when I have the chance to visit.
