There's Always Another Use WD-40
workshop tips
We are so stoked to be partnering with WD-40 for their Theres Always Another Use Challenge!
Al was first introduced to WD-40 by his dad when he was a kid, who showed him how to use it on the bearings of his skateboard wheels. Ever since then he’s always kept a can at arms reach, from his toolbox when he worked as a chippy, to the workshop and the Low Odour he keeps in the glovebox.

Workshop Tip
If your tools are starting to jam up with dirt, grease or rust, spray WD-40 and give them a really good clean with a rag. They’ll come up as good as new, protect your tools and prevent further corrosion.
Did you know there are over 2000 uses for WD-40?

Both Al and I love timber and we love to cook, so when it came to designing and building our kitchen we wanted to create a functional space and felt beautiful to be in. The kitchen has become the heart of our home, with our island bench the place we all gather around.
