This time my customer requested I make a cupboard to hide the obvious cables etc. I asked “what was happening with the bookcase?” Of which the reply was “it’s probably going to the bin”.

So I got the ideas flowing and quickly figured that it was quite possible that we could use the bookcase as a secret door! Turned out well I think.

This design has seen the bookcase reinforced, hung with heavy duty solid brass hinges and a hidden wheel underneath to aid with the weight of all of the books that will fill it. Two purposes in one solution.

A great result……plus a cool hiding place for the kids too 👏🏻👍🏻

……completed

71m2 of solid oak flooring, directly bonded to the floor.

All internal doors replaced with one adjusted to size for the understairs cupboard.

Handrails & spindles replaced with oak, and primed spindles. The newel caps were finished with my own design for that added touch.

The media wall was made to suit the new fireplace, finished off with a special piece of Oak atop. I included a secret access point for all electrical connections just in case the electrical items fail in future.

And to finish off…….a lovely gift from the customers. A great result all round 👍🏻🎅

Out with the old and in with the new….here are some updated & modernised oak handrails with square primed spindles I machined, supplied & fitted. The newel caps I made to my own design moulding to add that personal element.

A new frame with a pair of modern glazed doors was installed recently. The customer requested the possibility of having the new side glass with the same vertical frosted pattern as the doors.

A straight forward request I presumed, however a few glazing companies I approached were unable to provide the pieces with either sand blasted lines, or glazing film applied.

I do enjoy a challenge so set to work on making the pattern myself in-house. After struggling to find the correct materials anywhere online I eventually found them locally, and the finish was absolutely perfect with attention and detail applied.

Not only were the customers thrilled with the overall outcome, I too have learnt, after 25 years, that something else is also possible for future projects. Bespoke woodwork and glazing at its best!
