Did u know we make bespoke plinths for art galleries, exhibitions & photo shoots? The humble plinth makes all the difference displaying a work of art. This plinth for Hong Kong Artist Xper.Xr needed a support bar fitted inside as the object was very heavy. #plinthmaking

It's been a busy 'wood' week at the workshop! We just love the simplicity of these bespoke wood menu/sign holders in walnut, sapele & oak. All lovingly hand-cut, sanded & lacquered. #attentiontodetail #oak #sapele #walnut #handcut #sanded #laquered #bespoke #workingwithwood

From the archives...a typical town planning model at 1:1000 scale. A pre-planning visual aid, as relevant today as it was in 2007 when we made it. #townplanning #preplanning #modelmaking #modelmakingskills #attentiontodetail #visualaid #propertydevelopment #architectualmodel

We made a model called the "Humber Hydrogen Hub" for @centricaplc on behalf of their project partners SSE Thermal & Equinor to showcase plans for a collab of multiple low carbon hydrogen projects on the north bank of the Humber. #Centrica #hydrogenpower #modelmaking #NetZero

Do u know we laser cut leather? We do a simple shape test piece 1st, as it's a challenging task depending on finish, thickness & type of leather. Used for theatre & fashion, jewellery, interiors & bespoke pieces, it's versatile & enduring #leatherwork #lasercutting

We love these signs for @ThePleasance Theatre in Islington. Birch Plywood, painted yellow, with text & logo CNC machined - they really pop! The Pleasance have been at the heart of fringe theatre and comedy since 1985 #cncmachining #cnc #cncrouter #signage
