Hi I'm Neil and I like to make and create. This can be anything from woodwork/metalwork to photography/drawing or any other form of creation that motivates me.

The kayak is coming along slowly, I'm just in the process of adding the kumiko to the deck. Just letting you know that it's going to take a while. I may have to put it aside again and get another quick video done. :)

Overnight my subscriber count on YouTube reached the 1 million mark. It really is only a number but it’s a pretty special milestone that I honestly never expected when I started out making videos.

I gave up my job 5-ish years ago to see if I could make some sort of living from my workshop and YouTube wasn’t even something I’d thought about at that point. But with a bit of luck, hard work and the huge amount of support from anyone that’s commented or encouraged me along the way, I’m now very lucky to be making a living doing what I do.

Thank you! 😊

Latest project - reclaimed star picket shop stools. I’ll age the paint work to look vintage and make wooden seats. Video shouldn’t be too far away. 😊

Next project shouldn’t be too far away. It’s a bedside table for my daughter Jessica, just needs legs and finishing. 😊

Next cogs are in progress. They’re all at different stages and need more work yet to get to their final shape. Hopefully they shouldn’t take too long to finish. 😊

The shaping is going well. All done with hand tools and these templates as guides. The next ones should go quicker now I’ve worked out a method. 😊

This is what I’m working on at the moment. I have no need for a wooden plane propeller but after seeing them in a museum I couldn’t resist trying to make one! 😊

All finished apart from the front knob which still needs another coat of wax. Next up, editing the video. 😊

Making some good progress on the scraper plane. I remade the knob which I much prefer, gave it a coat of hard wax oil and started the hardware. 

The knurled nuts are bronze which I made on my wood lathe - I need to get a metal lathe. They’re not perfect and look homemade which I’m perfectly happy with. I need to shape the frog and screw support then make a blade and lever cap. The video is already over half an hour!
