Buck’s Bench

Handcrafted with passion

G’day, my name is Buck (Clive) Buckingham. I’m an Aussie Navy Vietnam Veteran.After my retirement, a serious motorbike accident and looking for something to keep what sanity I had, I took up woodworking. I found making items out of wood somewhat therapeutic. However, the associated noise and dust associated with using mainly power tools was a distraction. I consequently started upon a journey of using mainly hand tools. I make mainly boxes and recently started turning pens. It has become my go to therapy for PTSD. Another therapy is poetry. Poems I pen in the early morning whilst sleep eludes me. The Middle Watch Musing of the Meandering Mind.
