The finished pine chest, I really like how it turned out.
Based on a traditional design, apparently they’re quite common in the US. Most old chests I’ve seen around here are either dovetailed or framed type.
I put a slight taper to the sides which I think makes it look a little nicer, without having to resort to applied mouldings

Since 2008 I’ve been working on various handmade speaker designs, from monstrous surround sound setups, to mixing monitors, to battery powered portables and as many in between as I could think of.
With a Masters Degree in Product Design Engineering from the Glasgow School of Art and The University of Glasgow, I had a good foundation in design and engineering. Along the way I built up my woodworking skills, moving back home to Dorset and learning traditional woodworking skills at The Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis.

My aim is to bring the pasts high quality hand joinery to present day items. The art is not lost quite yet and I believe there is still a place for hand made objects made to be used and made to last. Now more than ever with sustainability becoming more important.
