13/03/2005 Sorry to all who have emailed me and I have not got back to them. My computer got infected again and I lost all my emails and cannot reply to you. Please send again. I had only been back a short while after I posted the Item below. Hopefully all is sorted again now.

After a long time I have finally got to reconnect to my site. I had my second hard drive go down and I am now on my third. Why aren't things made to last. Anyway I have now recovered some of my files and managed to get back onto my website to update it.

During the last few months I have been teaching and being a handyman as well as doing some Desirable Debris, although not as much Desirable Debris as I would like, but one needs to eat.

60 Minute Makeover

Tuesday 18th January 2005 saw me on television on the above programme.

I supplied the Brighton Line Coffee table and I also made the mirror which is made from timber which was part of the scenery from a film called 'Gladiatress' in which the 'Smack the Pony' girls star

The Abbott Table & Abbott Coffee Table

The Abbott Table & Abbott Coffee Table, made from reclaimed Oak Floorboards, have recently taken up residence in the Show House of the Bio Regional/BedZED development.

Following a visit to BedZED in 2002, Desirable Debris was commissioned to design and manufactured a coffee table by the Environmentally Friendly, Award Winning, development in Wallington, South London. This along with 'The Abbott' Oak Dining Table (4'10"), are now displayed in the newly refurbished Show Home and Visitor Centre.

Working with BedZED was a great pleasure, we share many of the same design ethics.

Wood for the tables was rescued from 'The Abbott' public house, Redhill.
The sectional floorboards were quite severely damaged during removal but were then de-nailed, cleaned, sized and glued together before reworking.
