Work begins on our new workshop.

Work begins on our new workshop. A heck of a lot of remedial work to do and then fully lining and insulating to keep our precious stock in tip top condition. The 70 year old Crittall windows and the crumbling render is a challenge but these old military buildings reveal stories with every layer you strip back. A fine place to be

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

Winston Churchill Standing Desk

Winston Churchill worked at a standing desk

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” When at his home, Winston Churchill wrote and worked at a standing desk that was given to him by British statesman Benjamin Disraeli, who like many of his Victorian generation preferred to be on their feet whilst writing.

Despite smoking 10 cigars a day Churchill lived until he was 90 years old.
Standing and working can strengthen your lower back, improve your posture and enhance your mental focus. It certainly worked for Winston!
