Reflections
I guess I got into making furniture while I as teaching metal work and wood work and Design and Technology as I was always working with students helping them make things which were functional but interesting and trying to nut out design problems. As I do no teaching now I have sort of drifted from furniture to Sculpture( note capital S) . However I do a few tables and seats every month as some of the shops and markets sell them consistently and I do enjoy doing the odd one or two as a change and a chance to use interesting recycled wood.
I also make quite a few mirrors and most of these dont sell just by themselves but work well as part of the tables. I do orders as different people have different needs and often these are quite a challenge but it all goes in to making an interesting life.
