David Condon Woodcraft Blog – Exploring Woodturning & Irish Craftsmanship
Welcome to my blog, where I share my passion for woodturning, Irish craftsmanship, and life in a small creative workshop.
What started out as a reluctant business tool has become one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Over time, this space has grown from occasional product updates into a place where I document my craft, share what I’ve learned, and connect with people who are curious about working with wood. If you’d like to know more about who I am and how I got started, you can visit my About Me page.
Today, the blog covers a broad but focused range of topics, including:
● Woodturning techniques and workshop insights
● Working with native Irish hardwoods
● Sustainable practices and ethical woodworking
● Tool reviews, finishing methods, and practical advice
● The realities of running a creative small business in Ireland
Whether you’re a complete beginner, a student attending one of my Woodturning Tuition sessions, a fellow maker, or just someone curious about Irish woodcraft — there’s something here for you. If you’re just getting started in woodturning, check out my post: So you want to be a Woodturner? — it’s a great place to begin. I’ve also written several follow-up posts to guide you further! Checkout my Woodturning Experiences page for some fun group activities in my workshop.
New Blog Announcement!
I’ve recently launched two new blogs alongside this one. The first is David Condon Finds, a space for all my non-woodworking content — book reviews, health topics, product roundups, personal reflections, and Amazon Affiliate finds — without cluttering this blog’s focus on woodturning.
The second is Phoenix DVD Blog, where I write about my DVD and Blu-ray collection — the films, miniseries, and releases worth revisiting or adding to your shelf.
If you’ve enjoyed those occasional detours, I’d love for you to follow along on either (or both) of the new blogs!
