Custom garage shelving unit on wheels to accomodate a specific storage system. I love working with form ply and the contrast of the cut edges against the black film face.

Its been a while but I'm back in Geelong🤙🏽 I enjoyed installing this shaker style wainscotting with picture shelf for a bedroom feature wall recently. The clients had a few pictures for inspiration and it was fun bringing them to life! Check out the time lapse in to see a bit of the process.

Two cabin beds I built a month ago for a young family with two very excited kids. The little boy said he was going to invite me to his birthday because I was such a good builder😂. All the hardwood was Tas Oak. I built the ladders at home out of 65x32 hardwood and 35mm hardwood dowel for the rungs. It was a pine frame screwed to the two walls with Oak wrap on the other two sides. I mitred the tops of the ladder sides into the handrails and finished off the beds with small bed side shelves.

G’day, what’s going on? I wanted to do a post to let ya’ll know about some big changes that have happened recently with Rcc carpentry and my life in general. A couple of months ago, my wife and I packed our stuff onto our ute and trailer and moved from Victoria to Tasmania. After a couple of weeks in quarantine we moved into our new rental in a small coastal town called Dodges Ferry, about 40 mins outside Hobart.
Backtracking a bit, I started my own business a couple of years ago, six months after finishing my apprenticeship, and although it’s been challenging at times, I’ve really loved the experience. I’ve really loved working with clients to find out what they want from their projects and then seeing them happy with the final product. I’ve been really blessed in that God provided constant work nearly the whole time between working direct with clients and subcontracting.
So obviously with the move to Tas my work has changed substantially. I’ve decided to put my business on hold for a while, and I’ve had a really great opportunity to work for my brother Matt and his company “Calic Building and Carpentry”. I’ve been a part of his team for the past month or so and it’s been a really great fit. The type and standard of work that Matt puts out is high quality and the sort of work I find really satisfying to do. I have some pretty cool opportunities to be a part of and sometimes run bigger projects than I have been the last couple of years.
So, I can see myself going back to self employment in the future, but for now I’ll keep posting on this account about the projects I’m working on here with Calic Building and Carpentry (Check out their page to see their past projects)

Here are some before and after photos of a new kitchen floor completed earlier in the year. This included removing the old vinyl floor and underlay, flattening the old subfloor and installing glued and secret nailed Tas Oak floor boards.

Laundry door swap over completed this morning. The new glass door makes the room much lighter inside and provides a view of the lovely garden outside. @ Grovedale, Victoria, Australia

Door replacement completed over the weekend. The client here wanted a custom made vic ash door installed to let more light into their lounge. It turned out really well with a few coats of weather proof varnish, and a new handle and deadlock. Door from @ Highton, Victoria
