love your work didn't expect you be from Adelaide, cool to know we have some great designers here.
The restaurant table is beautiful, both in aesthetics and practicality. For anyone thats been to Oz and spent time in the bush, you know how well these two guys represented that with the indigenous wood and torch marks.
The restaurant table solution is very clever. That alone will impress people and enhance the dinner. The wall covering behind the restaurant owner (which looked like wood grain) was unique and very interesting -- great idea.
I love that clamp rig for that base. welldone!
Class unreal skill
epic table solution....

William what kind of furniture do you make by hand?
The kind that makes you ask stupid questions.
Hands pushing wood through a machine is not hand made. It is simple modern furniture like Ikea with real wood.
I think there is a distinction, hand made utilizing machines (such the like of routers and saws etc.) can still be considered hand made. Ikea use machines (with minimal human involvement) to cut, drill, trim and cover mostly man made boards into bland furniture that is sold in flat packs for cheap shipping.
If you really want to push "hand made", why would a craftsman (before the advent of machines) be able to say he hand made something if he used any form of tool apart from his bare hands? Cheers, David
The distinction between a craftsman's guided cutting tool to shape wood and shoving wood in a machine is a clear one. Is the cutting edge guided by a human mind or a machine? Your reasoning that any and every tool is the same beyond a craftsman's bear hands is asinine.
Any craftsman creating furniture for a living would invest in the tools to provide the best output. To think otherwise is perhaps being a bit romantic? Cheers, David.
Craftsmen have bear hands? Don't their claws get in the way?
If that is a joke, it's unbearable!
