half size replica of a morgan car using strip planking similar to building a boat. this car was made by a student at asquith boys high school as his year 12 major project. He used ___________ to glue all timber including the strip planking and laminated the front axle.

Pretty smart for a wooden car. It shows that boat building techniques can be used for all sorts of woodworking projects.

Modular Rocking chair

The chair was manufactured using Jarrah and European Beech with all joints glued with Epox-E-Glue. Epox-E-Glue was used to ensure ultimate strength as most joints are placed under high point loads when rocked.

The Rockin’ Chair is a custom designed rocking chair that is closer to a lounge than a chair.
Materials are Tulip Oak, European Beach, Hoop Pine and black upholstery. It was glued with Epox-E-Glue. This is not only superior to other glues, it has excellent gap filling qualities that were required for this project.
This is a very comfortable chair that displays the student’s furniture making ability. His grandmother loves the chair so much that she refused to get out of it when she first sat in it.

Modular Lounge chair

The Low Slung Lounge Chair was designed and constructed by a very talented student. The lounge chair will allow him to sit low and relax while he plays his game console.
Materials are Jarrah, bendy ply and upholstery. It was glued with Epox-E-Glue that prevented slippage between the curved faces.

The Outdoor Daybed was made in two halves. This split design was necessary for ease of transport and it allows for different configurations.
Materials are Merbau, Epox-E-Glue and 316 stainless steel screws. These materials were used because of their superior weather resistance.

This is a raw edge silky oak dining table. It was made by the Hospitality teacher at St Ives High school. It is her outdoor dining table at home which is subject to moisture and direct sunlight. Epox-E-Glue was used on all joints to ensure exposure to elements would provide high strength, waterproof joints. Due to the table being situated in a semi outdoor area the timber was sealed with Bote Cote Epoxy resin with non yellowing hardener. The Bote Cote is also great at densifying soft timbers when TPRDA is added to the first coat. As Epoxies have no UV resistance, all surfaces are then coated with clear Aquacote which provides excellent UV and scratch resistance. We call this clear system and further info is available at the clear system page. There is also information sheet on why "Clear Coatings Fail" that explains why coatings fail and the limitations of different finishes (CLICK HERE).

A Computer desk was created as a project. It received a Band 5 in HSC. It was made from Tasmanian myrtle and Jarrah. Epoxy-E-Glue was used to glue all joints. The highlights were created using black pigment - in Bote Cote Epoxy resin to fill machined grooves.

This Poker Table was manufactured as a HSC project and recieved a Band 5. It was made using Tasmanian Oak and glued with Epoxy-E-Glue.

A Round Outdoor Table with lazy susan was created for HSC and recieved a Band 6.
A Rebated Hibiscus with glitter and Bote Cote resin in fill. All joints were glued using Epoxy-E-Glue. It was then coated with Bote Cote Epoxy Resin with non yellowing hardener. Then coated with clear Aquacote to create an extremely tough waterproof finish.

"My 2014 HSC industrial and technology timber and furniture major project was a Lotus Flower Coffee Table!"

Rock maple, Tasmanian myrtle, jarrah, jelutong, European beech, pine, plywood and MDF

"The table features a hidden dovetailed pine drawer with two compartments."

A Bedside Table created for another HSC major project achieved a Band 6! It was manufactured from 3mm MDF and Veneered using Jarrah Rock maple. All gluing was achieved using Epox-E-Glue to ensure maximum bonded strength.

The above two pictures feature a set of Bedside Tables which also received a Band 6 as their major HSC project. They were manufactured from Bendy ply to achieve the desired shape. They were then veneered with Jarrah and European beach. Epoxy-E-Glue was used to glue veneer and all critical joints.

The above two images of the Chess Table was created as a students HSC major work and achieved a Band 6. The timbers used to manufacture this piece were Rock maple and Blackwood. All the joints were bonded using Epoxy-E-Glue. The symbols featured on the sides were carved and then filled using pigmented Bote Cote Epoxy Resin.

The Computer hard drive cover shown above was another students HSC major work and achieved a Band 5. It was manufactured using European beach and Australian cedar. The joints were all held together using black pigmented Epoxy-E-Glue.

The Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) was created for HSC and features a sunrise over the water. The student achieved a Band 6 for this project. It is made from Paulownia and Australian Cedar and glued using Epox-E-Glue. It was then densified and sealed with Bote Cote marine Epoxy Resin. Black pigment was used in grooves machined for sun and waves.
