Chi Shing Turner was an old shop run by Mr Leung King-fan who had been a local carpenter for over 50 years. With the changes of time and the advance of the technology, the industry of carpentry which involves complicated process and traditional craftsmanship has been declining. Chi Shing Tunrer in Prince Edward closed down in Dec 2012. Seeing that, design team Yuen Yeung held an exhibition about this old shop in the district.

Jointly presented by 100ft. PARK and Yuen Yeung, the extended exhibition Chi Shing Turner will show photos of Mr Leung King-fan at work, his works and his tools. Though large machines went sent abroad already, Mr Leung King-fan still keeps some of the small tools. On view also includes works created by members of Yuen Yeung.

關於展覽

「志成車木」是梁景勳先生在「車木」(木匠工藝)行業經營了50年在九龍太子的老店。隨著時代轉變，這種工序繁複的傳統技術已經息微。2012年12月，位於太子的「志成車木」正式結業。有見及此，設計團隊「Yuen Yeung 駌鴦」曾在該區舉辦了一個有關這老店的展覽。

是次「百呎公園」與設計團隊「Yuen Yeung 駌鴦」合作舉辦「志成車木」延續展覽，展出梁景勳先生工作情況的照片、作品和用具。雖然大型機器已送到國外，但梁景勳先生仍保留部份小工具。展覽同時亦會展出「Yuen Yeung 駌鴦」成員創作的作品。
