For several years I took part in the five day courses with Neil Scobie at his Bucca Creek Woodworks. As well as benefiting greatly from a teacher and mentor such as Neil, I very much enjoyed networking with other woodworkers.
I first met Neil at the Sydney Timber & Working With Wood Show several years ago and I was instantly impressed, not just with his amazing skills and knowledge but also by his easy going nature and ability and willingness to impart his knowledge.
In 2015, when I was at the course, I saw a photo of a set of bedside tables that Neil had made and I spoke to him about making some similar tables when I returned in 2016. We discussed some design options and I included some modifications to suit the style of our existing furniture. As usual I booked in for the following winter five day workshop.
