Remember the Timber and Working with Wood Shows?

Started in the 1980's and in the earlier times (before internet and online shopping) you needed 2 days at the Sydney event (Sydney Showground Moore Park) to see all that was on offer.

Like all good things eventually the show disappeared as it shrunk down to where you could see everything in an hour and a half.

I attended the 2018 Sydney and Working with Wood Show at Randwick Racecourse and was assisting at the Beyond Tools stand. It was the last show before COVID and had a bit to see and do. Look at all the RIKON machinery on display and in operation.

Corrimal Hobby Timber annual event will never be a "Timber and Working with Wood Show" but on Saturday 29th August we will be holding our annual event where there will be a massive timber sale, live demonstrations and exhibits from local artisans.

The 4th running of Corrimals own Timber and working with wood show.

Free event to attend.

This Saturday 18th April we will be at Corrimal Hobby Timber 9:00am to 12:30pm where you can see some of semester 2 projects participants will be completing and ask questions about "Learn to Turn" or the woodwork joinery courses available at Corrimal High on Saturday and Five Islands College (Port Kembla) on Fridays coordinated by Five Islands WOODTEC.

Learn to Turn Saturday mornings at Corrimal High.

Participants are into the "create your own projects" during the final weeks of Learn to Turn after becoming confident with cutting techniques for spindle, bowl and mandrel turning. You can see their enjoyment as the tools are doing the work not "chasing" the cut.

Again, we have a great group with everyone looking to expand on what has been doing and looking at setting up a home workshop for turning.

The short video. This participant grew in confidence very quickly. He was looking for a challenge making a deep bowl. I had a block of River Red Gum and advised it will be "hard" work but worth the effort with its stunning dark red interlocking grain.

The bowl was finished yesterday but the video is of making the roughing down cuts with a 19mm bowl gouge - Perfectly.

Semester 2 there are vacancies for the after-lunch group 12:30 to 3:30 for 10 weeks.
