Hello all 😊, it looks like I'm finally moving to County Durham! I just wanted to thank everyone for the work, shares, likes, recommendations, cups of tea and everything else over the years😊.
I'll still be working but focusing more on making one-off pieces of my design and, hopefully, getting back to guitar and violin making. It'll be a few months until I do anything as our new house needs a lot of work but keep an eye out, I'll be posting new creations at some point! Keep following me😊
Ps. The video is our new home (and some of the garden!) from the 23rd March!

Here's my last job before a well needed xmas break! These are a variety of wardrobes, cupboards and a dressing table I made in a large loft conversion. It had to be done in-situ due to the limited space to carry up ready made units.
It was a great pleasure to make all this for really lovely people. It also led to my new name 'Baba cool'. The customer's very young daughter loved saying bye bye but couldn't pronounce my name, Karl. This ended up as babacool😎

And another recent job....this is a very old, folk craft chair that came to me in pieces due to woodworm, age and use! The front legs needed cutting back to solid oak and new pieces added with scarf joints for strength plus forming new dowel joints to match the very uneven holes in the seat.....not to mention cleaning up and fixing all the other joints and staining the new wood to match the old! A real pleasure to do😊

This is a bit of upcycling. It was an unwanted oak and oak veneer/chipboard desk. The owners asked if I could make anything from it. They wanted a cookbook trolley to fit where a fridge used to be. I stained this to match the existing units. They also wanted a small food table for their arthritic dog (poor thing!) so I made this complete with a drawer for treats😋 . A great use of a desk that would otherwise end up in landfill.

Hi everyone, I've finally found time in my very busy schedule to post some recent jobs.
This one is Soiree cocktail lounge in Uckfield.
It was a great job to do - nice people, a certain amount of artistic licence in the design.....and hopefully free cocktails for life😂.
I really recommend going there, it's a lovely, warm, relaxing place😊
Other job posts coming soon!

Hello everyone, here are a couple of recent jobs. The open one is a lovely area for a dog, opened up under the stairs so he can keep an eye on everything....and keep out of the way!
The other is an extension to a very small door/cupboard opening. It was fine for hobbits but little else as it was approximately half the new height! The door had to match existing panelled doors, so had to be bespoke.
The clients were happy to do the painting to keep the cost down.

It's always nice to have a clear space. The is a cupboard for all the cleaning stuff that was previously piled up on the floor. Honestly, it is all straight, it was the lack of space allowing to get far away enough for a good photo!

This was an interesting and challenging job. The restoration of an old whisky barrel dovecote. While it would have been simpler to make a new one, this had been in the family for may years therefore they wanted to restore it rather than replace it. May the doves and owners enjoy it for decades to come!

Hello all, I've finally found time to add some more recent jobs. This first one is a hidden doorway. What was an ugly door into a garage from the dining/living room is now a hidden doorway with a bookcase! A great use of the space and certainly more attractive than the door!
