Different style of CNC pocket hole

I love CNC manufacturing but when using round mill bits, pocket holes are necessary for carving out interior shapes for component interfaces. Although not ugly, the pocket holes can ruin clean lines and always seem like a compromise. So I’ve been exploring ways of making them appear more attractive and integrating them into the design. I see lots of opportunity here for some very nice corners and joints in our furniture. Will need lots of physical testing to make sure there is no structural issues, but I have hopes that I can banish visible pocket holes from all our future work

Working on finishing touches to our website

Working on finishing touches to our website whilst juggling with new product design development. Fun times! This is our La-Stand in single use mode propping up my laptop while I have some sit down time. Yup, I tidied my desk for this photo! •

Our S-Desk Two setup

Our S-Desk Two setup with a full size Apple keyboard, trackpad, 15″ MacBook Pro and iPhone 6s. I know, I know, another pic with a load of Apple product on it, but they are digital tools of our trade (this is all my own kit) and they still look very well upon our desks. Going to try and borrow other blingy Mac alternatives for some variation in setup shots and to show that our desks work with all manor of equipment. We’ve even got customers that use these for model and jewellery making – photos of that coming soon. If you can work on it sitting down, you can work on it standing up.

He was a master carpenter

This is my late father who passed away nearly 7 years ago. He was a master carpenter and still my absolute inspiration for the furniture we are designing today. We worked on all sorts of projects together (on the right we were fitting bell stocks in a church tower). I’m pretty sure he would love what we are doing with CNC now, although I could still do with the benefit of his experience, as his knowledge of woodwork was unsurpassed. Wish I could show you my Instagram account – miss you Dad.
