Llewelyn J Sweatman

Llewelyn J Sweatman Timber artisan in Regional Victoria specialising in Furniture Renovation, Custom Design Furniture , Silver Jewellery and Traditional Wooden Boat Building.

As a trained Traditional Wooden Boat Builder with a lifelong interest in timber and its uses, this business was started to cater to an untapped local demand. Utilising years of accumulated experience, I offer to the local community furniture renovation and refinishing services along with bespoke furniture manufacture. All designs are original and where possible employ locally sourced exotic timber

s. Sometimes recycled materials are used in the construction, resulting in unique and quite often extraordinary effects. A childhood interest in coppersmithing and enamelling has with age translated into producing simple silver jewellery, often using a combination of sterling silver and pre-decimal silver coins. Wooden boats are the love of my lifetime. As my major qualification(Diploma Traditional Wooden Boat Building-Tas) and although inland away from the coast, I fully intend to both re-start building small traditional boats and offer my services in boat maintenance and reconstruction. As an adjunct to the services described, I also offer labour for hire and limited handyman services. Please enquire via personal message, for details of services provided.

As promised 'bookers and 'bookerettes more action on the boat front..Poor old ute doesn't have the oomph to push trailer up the shed apron so, go as far as it will and then manual pulley hauley and grunt the boat into the shed...Feeling a bit rat-arsed tonight but job done!!

Great big humongous day!!! The storage unit is empertee!!! Yes folks this can only mean that my shed is now somewhat messy and that it will be some time until I've got everything sorted and organised..
Looks like I'll have to have a tool sale to unburden myself of multiple copies of some tools and some antiques that I can't justify keeping.. ( keep an eye out tool bandits!) I've even started some light duties maintenance etc that is long overdue...More later possums!! Stay vertical, stay safe!!!

Well pipples, huffin'and puffin' and humpin' and gruntin' have I been and the saga of the shed shiftin' and stuffin' is drawing to a close....The storage shed is nearly empty and my new workshop is filling up...Today ( Thurs) we (the owner and I) oicked the 5kva diesel genset out of the engine room and loaded onto the ute...Along with my tools it then took a roadtrip to Seymour where I unloaded everything into the workshop ready for tomorrow when I'll fire up and get ready for POWER in the shed Yippee!!

Helloooo you little Gladiolii sniffers!! Hard at it like a little beaver I've been... Shed stuffin' and more stuffin' and in this heat that's no mean feat!!! For a start I'd forgotten how much timber was in storage and removing that exposed all the heavier machinery which tout seul was a phoofer valve busting experience!!!

Gerday possums.... Another day with the new property.I had some idea about where to put things but that's evaporated.Looks like I'll have to wait until I get the main lot out of storage before assigning places..Too much of a mix of shed/house stuff at the moment..
