Hi there. I'm the other Kiwi here. I started scrolling a few years ago. I had a project requiring a scroll saw and had been using my jigsaw bolted upside down to my workbench up until then. I have been enjoying finding out what i an make on my Frejoth since then. I realized pretty soon after buying it, second hand, that it is possible to make a wooden geared clock and so this has been my ultimate goal. I have only made the escapement gear so far. I want to make it out of Tasmanian (or Australian) Blackwood so i have made a plywood press to make my own ply.
I love making wooden mechanical and game boards. I have made 3 cribbage boards, one and a half chess boards (plus pieces) and am planing on a backgammon board and "Cathedral" game.
I hate creating for commission. It introduces time and design restraints.
