Quite a few people have asked if they can come to the workshop and see this gypsy wagon before it goes to its new home, so if you’re free this weekend and fancy popping in for a cup of tea let me know.

A little preview of what’s about to come out of the workshop after about a year of work. Just another few weeks to go. The original was built about 120 years ago, but it was in such a rotten state there were only six pieces of wood that could be saved.
I’m considering opening the workshop for a day when it’s done if anyone is interested in basking in its golden glory. A special thanks to .rowland, cloverclarkson and for all their help

A memorial bench that I designed and made last year from air dried oak. The arch detail in the bench was used to reflect the shape of the window above at St Mary’s Church, Throwleigh, Devon.

Some entrance gates I have made from air dried oak. The original gates were made in 1930 and got damaged by a lorry so I was tasked with making replacements that were an enlarged version of the originals to fit the customer’s driveway.

I’ve just realised it’s been nearly a year since I last put anything on this page, so thought I’d better pull my finger out and dig through some photos of things I’ve made in the past year and put them on here. In this edition is a vanity unit in sweet chestnut, which will eventually have two sinks on top of it; and a big beam with a Japanese scarf joint in it where shorter beams are joined together. If you look closely you can see the joints where the grain changes around the peg. Tomorrow I might put up some more photos, or I might leave it another year...
