Greetings to all woodworkers.

[ALI mADE]

About time to make a contribution. Been raised a woodworker at age twelve in 1938.Born 21 5 1926 makes me an antique 95er.Looking forward to get a card from the Queen. I do not want a card from Charly. Because there has been a War and I was on the wrong Side Live did often not go as planed. Came to Australia 1955 and now live near Maryborough North of Brisbane. I have a large well equipped Workshop all by myself. Over The Years collected g ood Quantity of rare Timber. I like to make periodic and traditional Furniture and recently interested in Barley Twist Creations. Because Nature has been somewhat rough on me I might have to pass onto someone else. Most People call me Ali some call me something Else. Happy Chipping to all of You.

Interesting table, Ali. How was the top made - is it epoxy?

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,


Brian

Good luck with your aim to get a card from HRH (the queen). Most of us probably have to wait a while longer than you for that. As a staunch republican I am hoping to hear from an Aussie head of state rather than some aristocratic head of a country that deported many of my ancestors.
I like your barley twist work and from your follow-up thread it looks like you are just a tiny bit obsessed with barley twists at present. I hope I can still be obsessed by a new technique when I am 95.
Keep i5 up and keep us posted on your new projects.

As You have assumed the top is Epoxy. Considering I am rather new to casting it worked out satisfactory. Cheers.

If I created the Impression being a twisted woodworker that is not so. I am rather more interested in carving and replica work. Also creating some unusual Cases. cheers to You.
