The steel blade will sit on a 60 degree bed. Lots of work here to make sure it's as flat as possible so the blade sits perfectly! 👌🏽 Learning from the best @weeatthesun #blockplane #tools #handtools

Studying planes, talking planes and using planes to make- A plane! Loving working under the guidance of hand tool/ woodworking expert @weeatthesun. This one will be a high angle smoothing plane made from Blackwood and Tallowwood. A great little project to remind me about accuracy. Lots of fun! 😀#woodwork #handtools

A sneaky little preview of a new piece in the works. Very excited about this project and can't wait to share it, but I have to wait for now. 🔝🔚🔜 #furnituredesign #tambour #topend

'If there's one guy you've got to meet, it's Byron!' Great to chat furniture and making with @artefactfurniture in his absolutely beautiful workshop. #lifegoals

Last shot from the weekend! In the bedroom, our Huntjng Wajima Chair sits with some good company. Sydneysiders and Sydney visitors, go and see it! Beautiful exhibition and so lovely to see furniture in its element. #athomeexhibition #twoscompany #embryochair #modernaustraliandesign @m___stew

Loved this scene. Work by @porcelainbear and @katerohde looking the goods in Old Government House for #athomeexhibition. 👌🏽
