Finding a decent sized workshop as a base-camp for my business wasn’t as easy as i expected. After long discussions with my landlady, she gave me permission to convert her three lovely sheds into a work space to get me started.
Under one condition. The sheds needed a good old tidy up and another storage solution was need for all her gardening equipment, of which there were quite a lot. The idea i came up with was a safe lockup to store her tools.
After doing my monthly trip, scavenging around looking for ideas for my latest project. Visiting my usual antiques shops, salvage yards and car boot sales. I eventually came across this simply designed, gate fold door cupboard. Instantaneously catching my eye i was intrigued by its unfamiliar design and immediately asked for more information….
After the donation of a set of old kitchen furniture from a former client, which consisted of an oval extending one leaf table and a set of six matching chairs. I placed them in storage, thinking i’d find a use for them at some point in the future or find them a loving new home.
After all the designing , planning and measuring of church pew bits. Which were originally designed to fit around an existing table the client already owned. She confessed she wanted to find a new one which matched the style of the booth seat better.
So as i finished one project, it automatically led on to another one.
Phone buzzes…..
“Hey….i’ve managed to get hold of a load of old chuch pew bit’s….do you think you could make me something
interesting?”
“Yeah, what kind of thing you thinking of?”
“It needs to seat at least six people and have extra space for storage….?”
“I’m sure I can come up with something… Leave it with me.”
Created from totally reclaimed wood and a couple of old garage doors. This project was a lot of fun to produce.
Approached by a local neighbour, who runs her own sucullants and and bottle garden workshops. She was greatly in need of extra storage for her delicate seedlings over the winter period.
