Welcome to what is quite possibly the first blog site in SA dedicated solely to the craft and art of woodworking. I warmly invite all woodworkers to participate. Woodworkers of all levels and disciplines are welcome. Whether you are a turner, toymaker, carver or cabinetmaker, we all work with this wonderful material and whether you are a beginner or a master, there is always something new to learn.

Let’s share knowledge!

I will be voicing my thoughts on matters relating to woodwork from time to time, but I am hoping this blog page will become much more than that. I would like it to become a place where one can find technical advice, search for a rare tool, share a woodworking opinion, ask an expert or just muse on this wonderful craft.

I have been professionally involved with the woodworking game for well over 25 years, in many different fields and there is quite a library in my workshop. Maybe I can help with a question. If not, I have some very experienced friends that includes master turners, master cabinetmakers, even a tool expert! I am sure that between the lot of us we can find an answer to most problems. And if not, well that’s how this blog can hopefully help.

Let’s share knowledge!

Yours in sawdust
