ON THE COVER: Kate Stehr is an Australian sculptor who draws on her own firsthand research and experience to produce highly original works: ‘My work has evolved over time, but it remains recognisably mine and comes from a willingness to keep exploring. You find your style through making – and not everything you make will be successful but will often reveals solutions and new directions.’
SEAT OF LEARNING: Ben Adams shows how to build the turned and carved barstool that taught him how to take his business in another direction.
THE THREE-WAY MITRE: A combination of machinery and hand tools make this interlocking three-way mitre joint easier to perfect than you think, explains Damion Fauser.
MOVED BY WOOD: Paul Barton seeks out wood species with a high shrinkage rate to achieve the flowing bowl forms that he turns, carves, textures and colours.
HANDHELD NOW HANDS-FREE: Bryan Cush takes a look at BenchPilot, Shaper Origin’s add-on hands-free option.
A JOURNEY OF REINVENTION: Dominic Grasso writes about his life change from the courtroom to the workshop and about the steambending techniques used in the chair named after his turn-about.
SHADES OF LIGHT: Graham Sands explains how to make the Japanese-inspired light pendant that was designed to suit the architecture and fittings of his mid-century home.
HANDMADE FOR HAND TOOLS: Practise your combination handplane joinery skills with this handmade carving tool tray project. Story by Charles Mak.
MEETING CHALLENGES: Patience, persistence and the community of like-minded others have taught Daniel Spielman the skills he applies to his creative work. The story of his award-winning cabinet is a good example.
