Up and coming.....

The Platt's Farm window project is still bubbling away.  The windows are all manufactured, just waiting to be glazed and decorated before the next phase in the renovation of the building they are for.
Meanwhile this load of Douglas Fir was felled and planked just outside Bangor.  Trying to turn it into 4x2 timbers for an esoteric shed project has given my table saw a run for its money.  Thanks to Ray at Ogwen engineering for all his help in helping me install a new motor to increase the power of the saw.  Its the workhorse  of the workshop and its been a little frustrating to be without it for a while.

Also on the horizon is an exciting opportunity to work for  Adrain Farey on his Sustaniable construction project 'Ty Elwy', watch this space!

Printing Office

Fitting out this printing office wasn't as straight forward as it first sounded.  Standard kitchen units have been customised to take extra deep worktops.

Here you can see I've joined 2 600mm worktops back to back to provide a 1.2 m deep work surface for printing T shirts.
