We would love to hear from our followers what kind of courses you would like to see us host in our new workshop?
These previous projects might give you some ideas. From pet furniture, movie props, hand crafted rifles and more.
Let us know below!!

A lovely hallway transformation complete with custom rustic corbel side units.
And as standard, kitty helper to make sure the work is completed!
From horror film to cozy!

A selection of our wall panelling and feature walls from over the years.
We love how incredibly individual these can make a home feel.

I could come back to this full remodel all the time. What a labour of love and boldness.
Wall mural paper provided by wallism and the rest was pure creative freedom!
Maybe it’s time to get crazy in another room?

Here’s a one from very early in my furniture making days.
To save initial costs on test projects they were all pallet wood, just like this one.
Amazing to see where this journey has led!

Loved our little trip back through the years I thought I’d revisit a few more!
Amazing and sometimes bizarre experiences we’ve had. Wouldn’t swap this for the world!
We are all so excited to have you at the workshop to create new and awesome memories.

I do love a little tinkering!
One of our shotguns came to us in a poor state and with a broken firing pin. Fresh one made from an old punch (not easy in a workshop designed for 100% wood 🤦‍♂️) and rear furniture was modified, sanded and oiled. Housing was polished and a general service while I was on. Just the forward furniture needed to complete the look.

Just taking a moment to appreciate TNT reaching 2k followers!! 🎉
It’s been an incredible 3 years with some fantastic memories, head-scratching and builds.
Thank you to everyone that has used our services or helped us in even the smallest way.
And a massive thank you to every animal on the job that has made our day, Chris’ bloody hat and Daz’ ripped shorts! 😂

Hi everyone,

With the opening of the TNT community workshop fast approaching we would love to know what you want most from the space.

We have created a quick survey that should only take a couple of minutes to complete that will help us to focus on exactly what you would prefer to see.

As a community interest company your feedback is invaluable to us and will aid in the growth and success as we move forward.

Cheers,

The True North Trades Team
