About me

My workshop is an amazing area where inspiration meets opportunity.

I started wood working at the age of 9 after school in my parents cedar furniture workshop in NSW, Australia. I have always retained a workshop of my own since leaving the family business and in my current workshop I craft bespoke articles from Australian and exotic imported timbers.

Since 1986 I have worked with one arm after losing the use of my arm in a high speed water skiing accident. This makes my YouTube videos interesting as I challenge myself by making complex and intricate items.

I can make a wide range of pieces including furniture, boxes, jewellery, and musical instruments. If you would like to purchase any of my items or get a quote on occasional furniture or rings feel free to contact me and we can talk.

Thanks for dropping by.
