Bookbound portfolio, created to be easy to change, hence the bolts, reinforced spine should keep it going for longer.

Summer Projects: This Is One Way To Spend a Day…


A type draw and some desk legs. Everything here has been cleaned up all the brass joiners are now shiny and most of the sections have been cleaned.

Can you guess what it’s going to be? There’ll be another post in a few days time.

One Day Project: Log Table


This morning I decided to set myself the challenge of creating a small coffee table from a log I acquired last summer, it’s been sitting in the garage drying for the year, it’s much lighter than it was when I carried through the woods to the car!
Here is the result of seven hours work including a trip to trusty B&Q. It still needs a bit more work thats for sure, but it’s not too shabby if I do say so myself. There’s a touch of 1970s in there somewhere…

I Have a Letterpress!


After visiting my old art teacher a few days ago, I came back with loads of cool random bits and bobs. I used to enjoy going into the art and the teacher walking off randomly coming back clutching a strange variety or of things to inspire! The most exciting bit was this Adana letterpress, I believe its a 5×3? Along with boxes and boxes of type! Time for some business cards?

I’d like to wish my old art teacher a happy retirement, I am positive that he will be missed at the school, and was an inspiration for me and many other students over the years.

Is It Really The Same Thing?


What has digital music really accomplished (or lost)? Music used to be about the whole experience of buying a record to browsing the artwork, has this all gone? This comes from a person who has purchased all their music digitally.
