I've been expecting you...

This chair was my final piece for the 2nd year of my Furniture Design and Make degree at Rycotewood.

BIG announcement, like really BIG 📢

So I've been secretly working on this the past few weeks and I'm finally ready to show everyone.

I made a website 😁

Etsy was a good starting point but the fees are too high (I think I might need to a whole separate post about that).

I'd really appreciate it if you went and checked it out. I'm dyslexic so despite proof reading it I'm sure there are many spelling mistakes 😂. Let me know if you find any in the comments and I'll correct them.

You can find a link to my new website in my bio

I will be at the Christmas market tomorrow. This is my last craft fair of the year and I have lots of stock available that isn't on my Etsy yet. I will be there with my lathe too so you can see how i make my pieces.

It was such a nice atmosphere there last year and I'm sure it will be again this year.

I will be turning off my Etsy at 9.30 am tomorrow (3/12) until lunchtime Monday (4/12). If you would like to order anything for Christmas I recommend getting your orders in soon.

I'm at Jellyfish Hub Christmas Craft Fair tomorrow morning (Sunday 26th November) from 10am.

Porridge spurtles are now back in stock too. Along with lots of other products. I may not be making any more pens until the new year however my entire stock of them is on Etsy so get them quick or come along to one of my craft fairs I've got coming up.

Jellyfish Hub Sunday 26th November
Crooked Billet Sunday 3rd December

See you there :))

ANNOUNCEMENT - I'm still here! I've been having lots of fun over the summer but not been in my workshop much.

I've been taking life a little slower recently because of some mental health issues I've had over the past year. For this reason I'm taking a year off of my studies to get better.

I will still be doing some craft fairs but the easiest place to find my work will be on my Etsy. There is lots of stock on there at the moment and I will be adding more as and when I make it. (Link in bio and in comments bellow)

Thank you to the people who asked where I'd dissapeared to.

Heres a video of what I've been up to this summer.

Started working on this yesterday. Panels cut, now to lip them with aluminium.

Carved an oak twist for a leg of my table, now to steam bend it

Steam bending with a twist. I'm potentially going to use this method for my final piece this year

This started out as just a rough sketch of a leg design (3rd photo) and then I decided to see if I could draw it in CAD. These renders were done using Fusion 360
