Below is a photo of one of many of my workshop steel tables. This one you could assemble and disassemble as I welded the nuts inside the box sections. I sheeted the top of them with ply wood.

Outdoor Three Seater Benches
I made these benches out of steel and decking. They are actually quite comfortable and have a swinging bracket which supports a plate that drops in and supports your food or drinks.
My Todaiji Book Shelf
When I lived in Japan I enjoyed going to the temples. Here is an extension of what grander that you feel when your in front of an object/ building/ furniture. I visited one of the biggest timber buildings in the world “Todaiji Temple” in Nara Japan. So I incorporated the same feeling in some of my pieces of furniture.
Believe it or not, this is made of recycled shipping crates and pallets.
It is a two piece book case, it needs to be.
Recycled Hoop Pine Hutch
Timber was salvaged by me at the old Ferny Grove tip which used to have a dairy farm on top of the hill next to it. I got a lot of beautiful wood which people saw no value in. Actually, some people at the time laughed at me but when they saw what I had made were then amazed.
Hoop pine kitchen fully carved and French polished
Solid hoop pine and flood gum top with eight coats of varnish and French polish.
It was built by me in 1995 and is still in original condition.
Three seater swinging bench seat
I built this in 1995 and made a few of them. This one was at my mothers place till my brother took it down.
Three Seater Sofa
I built this sofa; it was one of two. This was made in 1994 and upholstered by a friend. The frame is solid timber but the way the webbings, springs, stuffing and stitching were done is still good despite being 20 years old.
