They really don’t build them like they used to. 🛠️✨

We are officially diving into a new restoration project, giving these incredible 100-year-old doors the second life they deserve.

Taking these apart is a masterclass in historic craftsmanship—we're talking traditional mortise and tenon joints held together by history itself.

The coolest part? Pulling out the original wooden wedges that have kept these doors solid for a century. No nails, no modern glue, just pure woodworking genius. 🪵🪚

Stay tuned to see how we bring these beauties back to life!

I done a thing!

Finished my stairs 😍

Chuffed to bits with how they've turned out.

Not many people can say that they've built a staircase from trees that they've cut down in their own garden!

Could I have built some stairs from MDF? Yeh, gross

Im a big believer in doing things to the best of my ability, and if I can't do that in my own home how can clients expect me to do it in theirs?

This project was certainly a labour of love, soo much time went into milling the timber down from twisted slabs but good things take time.

And it paid off

The stairs are made from Camphor Laurel, classed as an obnoxious w**d but it's a beautiful timber to work with

We have stairs 🙌🙌 halfway there!!

Despite the family coming down with gastro over the weekend I've still managed to poke along.

It's been a labour of love, soooooo much time has gone into preparing the timber, from the trees we cut down nearly 3 years ago!!

We chose to leave the live edge on the stringers, giving a more natural raw look.

It's nice having stairs that don't creak, but now we won't hear the kids sneaking around 👀

For the wood nerds 🤓, the 5th video along shows a traditional technique called draw boring, you offset the dowel holes, which pulls the mortise and tenon together super tight!!

Now I've just got the next set to make.......


Happy new year!! I've started building my stairs 🙌And in typical fashion have drastically underestimated how much work g...

Happy new year!!

I've started building my stairs 🙌

And in typical fashion have drastically underestimated how much work goes into milling timber down from slabs🤦‍♂️

But I will keep poking along

What do they say, you should take more time building jigs than the actual job at hand.....

Anyhow Ive got everying set up so it's shouldnt take long 👀

These are the trees we cut down when we cleared our block, it's satisfying to be using the timber.
