I’m back in the saddle…..


Well, I’ll admit that it’s been a long time between posts and a hell of a lot had gone on in the last few years. The most significant change, which has shocked most of you who know me personally, is the fact that I’ve gone from a weight of 178 kg down to a meagre 74kg. I had some quite severe medical problems which resulted in 7 hours of surgery and me losing 75% of my stomach.

That was back in Dec 2016, and while the body healed a while ago, it’s been a challenging 18 months dealing with all the changes to my body and working on getting my head in the right place so that I can focus on writing again. A big thanks to those of you whose words of support have helped me move forward and I must admit that It would have been a damn sight harder to get through this without the love and support of my wife Sharon and children.  Love you all guys.

Cheers,

Bryan

Hi all My name is Bryan and I own and run the Tutorwood blog site.. I've been an avid woodworker for over 20 years and have worked as a bespoke picture framer, furniture designer & maker, restorer, power tool trainer, and currently, as the Festool specialist at a major Melbourne power tool retailer. I love working in timber, and am currently renovating my own house. A number of the current posts on this site as well as some upcoming ones have featured projects from my house. I have some new projects and commission pieces to begin soon, so I’ll keep you updated as they progress. Having been in the power tool industry for a lot of years, I found that one of the most common questions asked by my customers is, "where can I go to learn how to use my tools"? As well as suggesting some evening classes and reading material, I'd always try to help them understand the mechanics of the tool as much as possible but in the retail environment, that’s not always possible. This where the idea for this site began… When I worked for Festool Australia as National Training Manager, as well as running training classes, a large chunk of my time was devoted to developing and writing training materials. It was here that I discovered that can I write, what I hope you'll find, interesting material, but I also enjoy doing it. So when I left Festool in 2009, as started in my current role I began to write down and re-work the information and techniques on woodworking that I've learnt over the last 20 years the into the format that you’re now reading. As well as working on this blog I also have also been developing some tool specific training material for some of my corporate and education provider clients. If you need any further information on this service please email me on tutorwood@gmail.com. I aim to keep adding information and updates to this site as often as possible so don’t forget that If you have and specific requests for information on woodworking techniques or tools, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks for reading, Cheers, Bryan
