Here's a lidded box made from hardwood reclaimed from a street bounty cabinet with hand cut dovetails to join it all together.

I also left all the imperfections and history of the timber including termite holes.

This lil guy will replace an old tired OG cardboard box that contains our laundry detergent. 🫧

Why did I spend three hours hand cutting dovetails for a box made from garbage that hides in our laundry? For the sake of the craft 🤌🏼 and also damn it was fun 🙌🏼

Was so much fun spending a month with these wood enthusiasts at the Suikoushya school in Kyoto, Japan.

Learned plenty about sharpening and intentionality in each step of a process to bring multiple pieces of wood together.

I'm really excited to incorporate the knowledge and methods into my own making process (including the cool (and sharp!) tools 💅)

Slow is smooth; smooth is good.

First leg of the Japan trip is done as I'm settling into Kyoto for the next month to study. Here are some bits 🏯👺🍙🍣

Not pictured is all the good food, beer, sake and people 🌞

Bunch of boys recreating a photo they took in 2013 🤘

*Not pictured: the ladder we used to get on top of that wall (which was not needed in 2013)

Some pics from my time in (R)Adelaide with some excellent people doing some fun things.

Built plenty of treads and stage pieces, climbed more things than usual, had plenty of wine with new and old friends, dressed up as a suitcase at the staff party, held a rope tying workshop, might start a boy band, made a wee dolly for a big ladder and rode a yellow bike lots.

Thanks for the good times 🌞

By far the cutest object I've had the chance to fix.

Some fun kintsugi with (artificial) gold pigment powder and two part epoxy 🤘

Thanks for the trust @maddimademedoit 🥳

Really well put-together segments laying out some sneaky (and some full-on blatant) sales tactics that we engage with every day.

Kohler does a great job in contextualising modern sales practices as somewhat of a convenience-fee while providing anecdotes and scenarios that show how each practice is aimed at costing the consumer money.

From 'fair enough' to 'this system is broken and outrageous and everyone hates it but fuck, here's my money, I guess'

It's a good read to feel engaged with some ideas about where your money goes and how it was designed to get you.

"Really? C'mon, guys. The regulator just dropped a 441-page report on your lap, saying that isn't true. It's like a couple of sumo wrestlers claiming the kiddie pool they're swimming in is too warm, while peeing in it. And they're making full eye contact while telling you."

Some sale strategies are profit grabbing bastards 💅

Had the great opportunity to clean and fix this Chesterfield couch.

I found it by chance as street bounty and decided to take it home and shampoo and condition the leather, and re-fix the castors, and re-upholster the underside and the cushions.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable fabric that was more fun and funky to give some contrasting character (like orange corduroy or a zebra pattern!) but I did get a chance to use this heavy cotton fabric I picked up from @reversegarbage a while ago - so I'm glad I could fix it without buying new material.

I checked with the manufacturer and this couch was built in 1992. It's as old as me and I think, with some care, it can stay with me for a long long time 💃

Made this vinyl box for my mum's records 👌

Fits neatly in this existing console cabinet and made entirely from material destined for the tip 🙌
