Are You In Italy?

by | Apr 2, 2013 | 5 comments

We’re fortunate enough to have our workbenches represented in Italy by a great chap called Gianni. Gianni loves anything to do with wood and is involved in several companies, working hard to promote the use of wood as a material and raise awareness to prevent destruction of the forests that it comes from.

With a taste for all things high quality and woody, Gianni has created a centre for the finest tools, timbers and finishes called Eco.is which he works on alongside the Wood Culture Association ‘Culturalegno’

We’ve just been sent this photo that Gianni’s created for promotion at the many events he attends in Italy, that’s a pretty impressive book shelf!

    Helen,

    That is a very cool photo! My bench often looks like that – covered in tools with no place to work.

    I am very envious of the contents of this bench and I’m not talking about the books! (I own one plane)

    I can’t understand how that’s strong enough to hold the books. Amazing.

To Trust Or Reinforce?

How confident do you feel trusting glue for edge joints? In traditional woodworking most of the glue bonds we do will have some mechanical strength, and a well cut joint will hold together without any glue at all - it's just there as a bonus. But when we're edge...

Dear Helen, I know I'm difficult to work with, and my idea of business is not that of the rest of the world. But if you could listen I'd be most grateful. This evening I watched a car park pretty much on top of a restaurant, so they didn't have to walk far. A lady got...
