NEW STUFF.


I have been working on a few new bits recently, including this pool table looking ceiling light, made to a client's spec from some V8 rocker covers and a hubcap from a 61 Bedford CA that Lizzie and I used to have.





A matching pair of 6 hook coat rail.


A matching floor lamp to make a lamp I sold a while ago into a pair.


I finally finished Lauras' art deco floor standing assemblage with gramophone horn shade.


 And this nice chunky solid desk lamp (a personal favourite) that had sold just as it was about to make it onto the shop.


A new collection of wall lights and super solid bar stools (which I am really pleased with)  will be launched in our next newsletter, mid march sign up here if you would like to receive it!)

ELECTRIC BOXES.


I met a really nice chap called Rupert Blanchard the other day. He had opened a small junk shop to make some room in his workshop and raise funds for a new home. In the junk shop I found these old electric boxes. Rupert sorted me out with a fair price and even threw in an old defunct heater. The two small boxes have made some great (ok a little heavy) cast iron card holders. All they needed was a good clean, a clear coat and a quick release pin to keep them shut. I am already using the two larger boxes for some wall lights. You can see Rupert's fine craftsmanship here.
