Pedestal to support The Watch Winding House. Weybridge Surrey.
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.
Solid Oak Library. Weybridge Surrey.
In conjunction with my clients interior designer (Patrick Grenier of No Cream) a plan was drawn up for the manufacture of a ‘break fronted’ Solid Oak Library to house my client’s water colour artwork and hide his L.C.D. panel. The job initially required substantial cable runs for both the lamps, L.E.D strip lights and the T.V and media player.
Alcove Units featuring hidden audio visual system. Weybridge, Surrey KT13
Work starts on one of the most challenging builds of my career. Whilst the house was being built I marked out the datum points for the cornice and down lighters in the room with regard to the positions of the alcove units. I also laid trunking in the wall and lay all of the cables necessary for both sides of the room as the left hand unit contains the Blu-Ray Player, required 240v power etc.
Solid Oak Study. Weybridge Surrey.
Another project with the design aspect of the works a joint effort including my client’s input along with mine and again Patrick Grenier of No Cream. The design incorporated drawers housing suspended files, pull out keyboard shelves, extra pull out shelves behind the top drawers to realize more worktop space and a secret electronic drawer for valued documents etc.
Master Bedroom Wardrobes. Weybridge Surrey KT13
Work starts on a highly detailed run of bespoke wardrobes for my oldest client’s who have re-located from Paddington to a brand new build in Weybridge Surrey.
Master Bedroom En-Suite Vanity Unit. Wimbledon SW19.
Working closely with my client’s interior designer we had the collective idea to use the area usually wasted around the sink’s waste traps by carefully designing the drawer carcase around them therefore realizing much more usable space that would otherwise be wasted. The carcases were constructed from Walnut veneered moisture resistant MDF all supplied, dimensioned and finished in kit form from Shadbolts.
Ornate Wardrobes. Hammersmith W6.
This job required me to work to my client’s architects plans and although the foot-print of the wardrobes was relatively small the level of detail required meant it took me nearly 2 months to create.
