Epoxy has been ordered so big table with LED lighting from underneath or wall art? Will keep you posted. #eastcoast #halifax #novascotia #interiordesign #lifestyle #artistsoninstagram

Some of the bowls that are being designed in regards to woodworking for vets. The goal is to provide a safe and comfortable creative space for people who suffer from the effects of PTSD. The pilot project is really stepping up in pace and a big thanks to the support from family and friends.

Some bowls made by PTSD sufferers in my workshop. Woodworking for Vets with PTSD is well under way - thanks to all for your support. #woodturning #crafts #halifax #novascotia #ptsd #interiordesign #craftex #novascotiagov #veterans #departmentofveteransaffairs

I have just got back into the world of woodturning again and thanks to all for helping me with there knowledge/tips and thanks to Dave for helping me and teaching me in regards to the photoshoot. I am in the process of setting up woodworking for vets for those who have been affected with PTSD in regards to there respective careers. I am getting the workshop ready for some woodturning starting in early January to help and support people who may not have a space to get away fr...om and the workshop will be a place for those to relax and focus on some wood therapy. The lessons will be on a one to one per class for this pilot project and those selected will have an opportunity to learn a new skill at no cost to that person. My cell number is 902 240 9186 and for this pilot project, we would like to concentrate on those in the greatest need who are suffering in silence. I was diagnosed with PTSD back in July 2018 and to say that its a major learning challenge would be an understatement so I am learning myself through working with wood and the like.

Did my first epoxy pour today using the ecopoxy 30 litre kit, cookie wall art I hope lol. Just experimenting with the various ecopoxy pigments, got some great advice from the boys over at ecopoxy, learnt a lot from Blacktail studios links on YouTube plus all the other inspiration photos people take the time to share. #halifax#canada#uk#woodworking#ecopoxy#interiordesign #art #onistagram #industrialdesign #liveedge
