The Worshipful Woodworker

Growing up in a small country NSW town with a saw miller as a Dad accounts for why I’ve always been interested in making and building things. A year at the Chippendale International School of Furniture increased my love of antique reproduction and restoration. These days, whatever I’m doing, whether it’s building our house, sharpening chisels, designing computer software (the paying job) or writing, I try to look for ways to build, include and hone my relationship with God. It’s sometimes a challenge, but well worth the effort.

Through this blog I’ll share what I’ve learnt about my tools and, perhaps more importantly, what they’ve taught me.
