Custom made Lounge Furniture units recently completed for a client. The unit is made from a combination of MDF, high quality plywood and pine. The units have a basic beaded detail and the doors on the units are a simple shaker style. Doors were fitted using antique brass hinges. The bar section has been designed to accommodate a small drinks fridge.
Happy New Year! I’ve done a wide range of projects over the past 12 months. Thank you to all my clients, colleagues, friends and family for your ongoing support. He’s to a happy and healthy 2023 ✨
Finished Kitchen in extension that we also built. Complete with fully bespoke kitchen cupboards, units, drawers and kitchen island. Hand painted to finish.
Lighting this oast kitchen was the reason for creating this oak ring light. Spot lights round the outside would have cast light behind the island and not over it. We needed a light around the O-Lite skylight from @roof_maker which was directly above the round Kitchen Island which I also created as part of the bespoke kitchen. I loved designing it, coming up with the solution and the effect of the finished piece.
Custom made Oak Bar unit behind a panelled wall. Complete with fully oak interior, hand carved elements to hold glasses of various sizes and shelving to store and display bottles. Bottom section encompasses a wine fridge.
I created a 3 metre river table for a local primary school. I cast the blue resin into the timber in my workshop and then installed at the school in conjunction with a rope specialist. I hand carved all of the leaves which were then suspended onto the wall with intricate rope designs. The table legs were also wrapped in rope. The intention was for it to be a space for group or independent work outside of the classroom. The design was based on the idea of an outside area with a river flowing along and down like a waterfall.
Few of my favourite projects from the year. Happy Christmas to all my clients, colleagues and friends.
Finished this yesterday. Custom made alcove units fitted into the recesses on either side of the fireplace, alongside a mantle piece with beading to match. There’s a beaded detail routed onto the front edge of the shelves and frames. Built, primed and sprayed in my workshop and then installed, fitted and hand finished in situ.
Wall panelling is a fantastic way to add character, style and texture to your walls or to update a room. It is a simple way of bringing architectural shape to featureless spaces and immediately adds texture, detail and personality to a room. Panelling is a versatile and cost-effective way to update an area. Whether it be a traditional or modern room, there is a panelling style to suit almost every home. Panelling can make a large room feel cosy and warm; it can make a small room feel wider, and it can provide a practical surface in high-traffic areas such as a family hallway. You could use it in place of a headboard behind a bed, taking up the whole of the back wall, which is really effective, or use it to enhance plain doors, including wardrobes, to add gravitas. Panelling in a bathroom is a great way to make a statement instead of tiles. There is a panelling style to suit every bathroom, living room, kitchen or room you can think of and it seems to be making a resurgence as its something I am being frequently asked to do for clients!
A huge thankyou to all my clients and colleagues for getting us through this tough year. I’ve had some difficult times - starting the year by injuring my hand was really difficult. But...teaching my daughters to make things and paint during lockdown was a highlight. We’ve also managed to turn out some really exciting projects. Cheers to a better 2021 🥂
Last job of the year complete! Mezzanine in a Roundel of Oast. Before photo included to show the transformation of the space.
We have made good progress on the Oast Mezzanine this week. The staircase is taking shape. There have been some tricky angles to work out and navigate!
I have now completed the landscaping project we have been working on over the past few weeks. We have created a 3 bay bin store with log store above, a store/bar with lift up hatch, fitted composite decking and continuous slatted fencing, added a covered seating area with heaters, as well as an arbor and step to the summer house.
Being in lockdown and unable to work, there was no choice but to bring carpentry to home school! The girls did really well making their boxes...I’m hoping I’ll have a couple more apprentices soon!
Sitting room wood panelling finished ready for the decorators to take over. - #panellingwalls #woodworking #woodpaneling #panelling #carpentry #carpenter #carpentryskills #carpenterslife #joinery #cranbrookkent #kent #tunbridgewells #carpentersofinstagram @ Jack Vine - Creative Carpentry, Building & Design - Kent
