A simple kitchen for a Wellington apartment going on the market. The owner treated me to a lovely lunch during this job πŸ™πŸ½

I'm fully booked for the next few months but happy to discuss small jobs β€” bespoke kitchens, windows, doors, wardrobes, furniture, repairs, etc. No boats, unfortunately.

I've been restoring a 155-year-old Kauri door at a historical home in the Horowhenua. For those familiar with our older doors, they are very heavy.

I have a few openings for small projects (kitchens, bathrooms, walk-in wardrobes, furniture, etc.) next month.

Flick me a message to have a chat.

When the Dutch Cafe and Tram building was being done, I had the pleasure of subcontracting for the wonderful Robbie whānau (Robbie Builders). I done all the exterior joinery β€” timber windows and doors that helped to give the place it’s unique character. They are still there. Proud to have been part of such a special project!

I built this all-Rimu kitchen, including the bench top, a few years ago. It's rare to see kitchens built entirely from native timber these days.

If you would like to discuss a project or receive a quote, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I am always happy to have a chat and provide my expertise.

One of my most memorable projects was working on the America's Cup race yacht NZL 32, also known as Black Magic. It won the America's Cup in 1995 and 2000. I had the privilege of working closely with Sir Peter Blake and his team during its construction at McMullen & Wing in Auckland.

As this year comes to a close, I am grateful for the opportunity to work on various projects during my joinery journey, including super yachts, boats, caravans, buses, churches, monasteries, residential, and commercial projects.

Looking ahead to 2024, as I approach my mid-70s and retirement, I have decided to slow down and focus on bespoke residential and commercial projects. This includes designing kitchens, furniture, cabinetry, laundry spaces, walk-in wardrobes, bathrooms, and windows & doors.

I want to express my gratitude to all my past and new customers for their support over the years. It's time for me to take a step back and enjoy a slower pace.

Wishing you a safe and blessed New Year.

I think this will be my last major boat project as I'm getting older. I built this boat for Profab Engineering in Palmerston North.

The interior is made of marine ply covered with Italian Poplar veneer, which is dyed to ensure consistent color in all the cabins.

To protect and enhance the surfaces, I applied at least 5 coats of hardened Lacquer.

I’ll only be working on smaller boat projects now.
