Workstation

This job was for a Brighton couple who ran their own business from home. They wanted a workstation which would compliment their minimalist house so I designed this clean looking desk, drawer unit and floating shelf. Here's the drawing for the job...




Underneath the desk there are two false backs which slide from side to side allowing easy access to the wall sockets and internet connections. This means that the wires from the computers, printers and telephones are neatly hidden away. The whole job is sprayed with a tough polyurethane paint which is wipe clean and will not scratch or mark from day to day use.

Carpenter Brighton

This Grand Oak staircase was fitted in a Property in Romford, Essex. I normally work around Brighton and Hove but travel further for jobs that really interest me. This job was a real test of staircase setting out and planning. Not only did the treads become wider as you walked down they also curved outward. This meant making specific templates for each tread as well as curving solid oak risers all the way up the first flight.

The spindles and newel posts were turned to an original design and the carved newel caps were done by a specialist carver. They also did the acorn design on the staircase string.

A detail which I was not happy with was the position the builders had put the doorway on the first floor landing. They formed the doorway a foot off centre... They have moved it now!

Brighton Carpenter

My sister had her first baby a few weeks ago! To celebrate little Evie's first EVER Christmas I made her a toy box using different timbers: Oak, Pine, Sycamore, Walnut, Ash and Cherry. It's finished with Danish oil. I don't know how long it will be before she attacks it with her felt tip pens but I hope she ends up treasuring it for years to come.

Oak staircase

I normally work in and around Brighton but sometimes travel a bit further afield. This job took me all the way to the Isle of Mann! The staircase was for a timber framed building. It was a really beautiful place and I wanted the staircase to do it justice. Sometimes it's hard to fit finished joinery around the rustic angles and curves of oak beams but I think I got it about right.

Brighton shop front

I don't normally do commercial work but when the vintage clothes retailer 'Beyond Retro' approached me to design a shop front for their new Brighton store I jumped at the chance. The shop is located in the trendy North Laines area of Brighton and it was nice working so centrally in such a bustling atmosphere. The building was listed so my brief was to replicate the original doors quite closely. I came up with a design which kept the industrial feel of the original bi-fold sliding doors. The georgian wired glass I used was in keeping with this industrial look.
The Beyond Retro lettering on the doors is a stick on vinyl as is the anchor logos on the windows. All in all a great job to take on! The clients are really happy and it's good walking past the shop knowing the work that went into them... pretty cool!



The original sliding doors.. the building was being used as a car park.




My design for the new shop front




Fitting took three days..








All done on schedule for the grand opening!

Oak dressing room

Most of my work is based around Brighton but some jobs are worth travelling for. This job was for a client in Kew, London. The wardrobe doors are bookmatched veneered and "touch to open". the whole job is spray lacquered for a beautifully even finish. A really nice job and worth the travel!
