Garden Bench by Dave De La Cruz

This was made from Cypress Macrocarpa from fallen windbreak trees in Victoria, Australia. It was finished with some “outdoor oil” to help protect it and to try and keep the golden colour for as long as possible. I had a great time making this project. It was a lot of work (about 3 months nights and weekends) but very rewarding! I found the hardest bit was assembly and getting the seat slats to work with the curvature of the rails.

Frame Saw by Trevor Molyneux

Modified Gramercy Frame Saw. The frame is made from beech finished in a clear shellac. All fittings are solid brass. I decided to make a more elaborate tension adjustment that didn’t twist a looped cord but without using a threaded rod, so I made a hybrid of the two. I used 2mm dynema thread which doesn’t stretch to keep the length of threaded adjustment manageable. A modern twist to a traditional design. Having been pleased with the result, I will make larger and heavier duty ones using the same design.
