A friendly workshop based in the historic Portland Works building.

I make an effort to source tools from local manufacturers or second hand where possible, and purchase my tonewood from ecologically responsible suppliers.

My workshop is easily accessible via public transport, bike and car. Please find more information on arriving at the workshop below.

  • If it is your first time visiting, when you arrive please call or text (07927 920 391) and I will come down and meet you.

    The workshop is on the 1st floor, if you are unable to use the stairs due to access needs, please let me know in advance and I will contact you to make alternative arrangements for meeting.

    You can text/call on 07927 920 391 if you have any issues.

  • There is a limited amount of free parking on Randall Street.

    There's plenty of on-street pay and display bays available on the surrounding roads. The 10 hour max stay bays on Hill Street allow 20 minutes of free parking, which is sufficient for an appointment. Simply press the big green button once on the pay and display machine to get your free ticket.

  • I’m often asked whether it’s ok to bring a baby/toddler/child along: yes! Your children are very welcome to visit with you.
