After what turned in to an extensive session of building the Little John workbenches we received some lovely feedback, appreciation and photos from our customers as they were being put to work by their new owners. The comments below were sent through to me earlier this week. Hello Helen, My … [Read more...]
Metric Vs Imperial
Since learning metric measurements in school I've always been a user of the millimetre and never questioned its suitability. Richard was also taught metric first but as soon as he was out in to the practical world of work he adopted the use of imperial finding it much more intuitive. If he … [Read more...]
Customers’ Bench Builds
So far this year we've been busier than ever with our vices and we've been boxing them up and shipping them out to every corner of the globe.

Accessible Woodworking
This morning Richard wanted to explain to me his techniques for hand planing - something he is wanting to get across clearly for a video we’re working on this weekend. I thought the best way to test his explanations was to try it out. It looks so easy when he does it so I just picked up the plane … [Read more...]

For our Little John Workbenches we’ve had these tactile pins forged to fit neatly in place and the curl makes … [Read more...]
Completed Music Stand
After a couple of coats of tung oil and some clear beeswax here are the finished photos of the music stand as promised. If you haven’t read Richard’s first post on the stand then you can take a look here. I can always tell when Richard’s enjoying himself because he comes out with a quaint … [Read more...]
