Somebunks.

Hiya, Here's some bunks i recently made for a local family. I added another safety rail to the end. Miro was a happy camper!

New furniture for the VAM at NMIT (or Visual arts and media @ Nelson Marlbourough institute of Technology!)

Hi All and hope you had a great break! We've been making progress on the furniture job for NMIT and the first coat of finish has been applied today.

 Tim Gemmell, who graduated from the Centre for fine woodworking last year, was a great help last week and we got the bulk of the benches and tables cut out sanded and assembled.

 It was a lot of blocks (120) and bolts (310) but we got there eventually. A bit like working with Duplo! I'll post some pics when finished in a few days.

New Bench design for NMIT

Just completed this prototype for some benches I'll be making for the new NMIT(Nelson Marlborough institute of technology) Visual arts and media building.

 Constructed from the LVL (laminated veneer lumber) locally produced for this groundbreaking building design. They wanted some benches and coffee tables for the communal spaces in the building. Nice to reconnect with NMIT as it was where I trained in design under John Shaw. He's now running his own fine woodworking school here in Nelson http://www.centre-for-fine-woodworking.co.nz/

Short Circuit lounge table

Here's a table design i made for home last year. Constructed in laminated plywood and toughened glass.

New shots.

Here's some new shots a friend, Jeanie Robertson took of my flat-pack Table and stool designs.
