Some examples of my work

The Hastings & Chipstead Mirror The frame is made from pieces of wooden floorboards from Hastings Pier, salvaged from the skip when refurbishment was taking place. The mirror glass is also reclaimed, it was reclaimed via Chipstead Scouts Jumble Sale. The timber was severely wire brushed to clean the muck and chewing gum out, but leaves a distinct texture to the wood. |

The Womad-Smith Wardrobe This Wardrobe was a commission, it is made to measure to fit a particular alcove with the timber coming from a variety of different sources. The Mahogany you can see has been reclaimed from sports centre changing room seating, while the main frame is timber reclaimed from an Off Licence in Old Oxted in Surrey. The upper trim and lower kick plates are reclaimed from a timber yard. The panelling is shiplap from various sources, some from a previous household installation and some from exterior building doors. |

The Pier Refurbishment Mirror The mirror glass? I am not sure where it came from. The timber for the frame is mainly off cuts from the new timber being used to refurbish Hastings Pier, although one piece is old and been replaced..

The J. D. Timberstore This particular bed incorporates some sacrificial hardwood which is used as packing around the sawn timber when banding for transportation. I was kindly allowed to rescue it from the Timberstore skip. Other wood comes from the conversion of the old Epsom Post Office into a J.D. Wetherspoons pub.

The Brighton Line Coffee Table Made from discarded sleepers found near the London to Brighton Railway line and wire brushed clean. The feet are discarded insulators used to hold the live rail up off the ground. Although damage to tools is fairly excessive, the table looks great and is very stable. It can easily be split up and moved in sections. The table was included in the TV programme '60 Minute Makeover' in the BEDZED Development in South London. The picture of the table is from within its new home.

Chipstead Gladiatress Mirror The mirror glass was purchased cheaply at the end of the Scout Jumble Sale at Chipstead, Surrey. The timber on the other hand was part of the Roman Gladiatorial Arena built in Bourne Wood, Farnham for the film 'Gladiatress' which was a film starring the 'Smack The Pony' Girls. I was a film extra for this production taking the part of a Roman Soldier. This picture is also taken in its new home.

The Abbott Dining Table This table is made up from discarded Oak floorboards from 'The Abbott' public house in Redhill, Surrey. They were ripped out and skipped during maintenance after a flood. They were extremely dirty due to spilt ale and muck. You could see where high heels had scratched the surface and they took a long time to clean up. Once cleaned they were joined together and made into this beautiful dining table. The Table currently resides in the BEDZED Show Home. |
