Pedestal to support The Watch Winding House. Weybridge Surrey.

Back

A fine piece of cabinet making to create a pedestal which had three main design purposes. Firstly to support the Watch Box on a heavy firm level, secondly to hide the power points for the winder transformers and lastly to house the Watch Box’s travelling/storage box.

The design incorporated Wenge and American Oak timbers and also solid brass ‘corner strap’ detailing all inlaid by hand. I hand picked all of the timbers and the end result looked stunning. This time I polished the unit over the course of three days with a combination of 3 coats of Shellac sanding sealer and 5 coats of Mylans Bees Wax to bring it up to the correct lustre. I lovely piece of furniture.

Testimonials

"Nicholas Jones is a talented and experienced craftsman who made a substantial and varied amount of bespoke cabinetry for us when we recently moved into a newly built flat.

The major items he made for us were a wall mounted display unit with individual compartments that were each illuminated by dimmable LED lights, a floor standing unit with a retractable housing for the television, storage and built in LED lighting, two bedside tables and two mirrored bathroom cabinets and a vanity unit.  He also built a rack to display patchwork quilts, an elegant frame for a mirror and installed lighting in the glass fronted top of a secretaire.

We enjoyed participating with him in the design of these objects and found him an excellent communicator and a joy to work with. The standard of finish of all his work is outstanding and he is ingenious in finding solutions to practical problems of design and execution.

We are delighted with his work and unreservedly recommend Nicholas to anybody who wants quality, imaginative bespoke cabinetry."

'Mr and Mrs. Beecroft - Jan 2017'
