TRIANGLE INTO HEXAGON COFFEE TABLE

this table currently stands as my largest projects yet. the project used 8 skateboards and an old oak painters cabinet for the boarders. there is 729 pieces of skateboard in the design. and it took me around 2 months of work to complete. the skateboard pattern had two coats of epoxy, one shallow coat without the boarders and a final thicker coat with the boarders on.

JAPANESE Y SHAPE PATTERN

out of the three larger projects I've made this is the smallest, however it is my most complex work so far. each y shape has 12 pieces, all together there is nearly 2,000 pieces in this work. i used a different method of making for this project where i cut the boards into long angled strips. i did this to bypass the very long glue up i did for the 2 other larger works. this came with a slight drawback, accuracy, the time that i saved was now being spent on fixing all the gaps the shortcut caused. this fault is not visible unless you are up close and looking for the filled gaps.

HEXAGON FRACTAL PATTERN

this is my first larger work. it took me a little over 2 months to make and has 1,240 pieces in it. i used 5 boards for the main design and 2 more boards for the boarders which had the edges covered in walnut. the plywood backing for this was originally used for a simpler hexagon project, however i was not a fan of it so i scrapped it and made it into this overlapping hexagon design.

SPANISH TILE STYLE LIGHTER

there is around 200 pieces in this tiny project, and it took around 10 days to make. each piece was individually glued to the next, trying to be as accurate as possible. each edge of the squares where hand filed to match the curvature of the circles. the edges around the lighter where made from walnut and glued to the skateboard design, which was then solidified with epoxy. and then glued to the metal zippo case

SKATEBOARD AND DENIM WALLETS

for this project i wanted to make a range of styles to suit multiple potential buyers needs. the wallets range from a simple straight ply, to complex and colourful designs, they have an oak backplate and where covered in epoxy for strength and improved finish. i also tried out a new style of making where i soaked denim with epoxy to connect and solidify the denim layers. all together these wallets took around 12 days to make.

RUSTIC COFFEE TABLE

even though most of my work leans more towards the art side, I do enjoy making normal woodworking projects when given the opportunity. the materials for this project came from an outdoor table/ bench, that was donated to me by my aunt. through the years of use and weather corrosion the bench had gained a layer of rot. so I cut down and sanded all the components apart from the top. I did scrape away all immediate rot and gave the top a light sanding. the reason for leaving the top like this was to give it a rustic feel, the years of erosion cannot be replicated easily and that adds character to the table.

KUMIKO PRACTICE

this kumiko practice piece was more made for fun, I always enjoy tying out project's that fall outside my skillset. it took me by surprise how much attention to detail this project needed, and this is only a basic design. this project took me around 3 days to make and was mostly made using a bandsaw. I used very basic marking out for the slotted components, which where then cut by eye.
