The #BrookfieldRadialTable Top requires a number of discrete steps, templates and techniques to bring it all together. I start by making the wedge template for the radial design at 30.5 degrees (slightly oversized the 30 degrees required to ensure I make the full 360). I then trim the 12 pieces required (actually 18 as it is good to have options), tape the circle in two halves, trim and tape together. For the underside I don’t bother with the radial pattern but still apply a veneer to stabilise the ply. I spend some time preparing the top ply surface by applying bog and sanding to 240. I have also used some veneer tape to clearly mark the centre of the circle as I will use this reference point for several CNC cuts. . . . . #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #woodworker #bespoke #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #shoptime #workshoplife #DesignerMaker #Brisbanewoodworker #blackbean #radialtable #veneering #cncrouter (at Brookfield, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyFJ1QrQ_n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A handle and a lick of oil and the dodecagon bedside table prototype is ready for Madie’s room. . . . #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #timberfurniture (at Brookfield, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdAXJ-HBkZM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Experimenting with a new bed side table design that is inspired by year 6 maths. The dodecagon is proving somewhat challenging to work with . . . #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker (at Brookfield, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccwsqu6LJC-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Madison Bench Seat Step 1: A new bench seat design underway. The Madison bench seat design is intended to compliment the curves of the Madison Oak bed. A crude mock up to work through some of the design concepts and build process, sketch it up and then off we go. This will be my first hybrid project where I use the #CNC in a number of the steps. . . . #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #woodworker #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #benchseat #madisonbenchseat #prototyping #prototypes #woodprojects #woodprototype #hybridwoodworking (at Brookfield, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY8tkiLLJtP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kamiza Stool Step 1: A new pool table warrants some bar stools to save the feet and knees while waiting turn. A quick prototype confirms the concept, allowing for the design to be finalised. Three stools should do the trick . . . #CustomFurniture #handmade #woodwork #customfurnituremaker #timberfurniture #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #bespoke #BrisbaneFurniture #custommade #customwoodwork #finewoodwork #finewoodworking #wodworking #brisbanewoodworker #shoptime #workshoplife #FurnitureMaking #DesignerMaker #barstool #barstools #kitchenstools #counterstools #stools #kamizastool (at Brookfield, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYBWqlfLyjA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Conceded pass for Level 4 CNC mastery. Much improvement and tuning required to achieve level 5. Levelling up to level 4 is going to have to wait for another day. My first inlay has some serious gap issues. Not sure what went wrong here.
