Design of furniture and wood related products tailored for the small to medium workshop.

I have long experience of designing and rationalising the designs of others for production by small and medium production facilities. I can also offer construction and production method service for one off projects as well.

Choice of machines and training for the medium to highly skilled work force.

I have no affiliation to any machinery agency and intend to remain fully independent and so I can give advice without commercial influence.

Safety and efficiency studies

Help with interpretation of the regulations and special advice over and above relating to your operation.

Mould design for Grp, concrete and plaster etc.

Materials and methods relating to these challenging fields. In the past I have made great economies in mold costs.

Proof reading service for technical books and articles related to woodwork.

I read so many wood working books which are full of glaring mistakes in technique and fact.. It is true, that in most scientific disciplines, books are submitted to the authors peers for comment before publication. This never seems to happen to woodwork books.. I am happy to help put this right.. If you doubt my abilities in this area submit a few pages on “approval” and see if my comments help at all. If they do we can then negotiate a price for the whole publication.

Technical advice on materials with especial expertise in the areas of gluing, finishing and abrasives.
