It’s that big Friday again 🙂
We brought some comfy chairs along for the biggest show on earth. Big thanks to Croissant Neuf for having us again this year at Glastonbury. Mr Plank will be chilling in the Green Fields with the coolest crew on Worthy farm.
See you there!
We had a great time at the St Werburghs Farm Summer Fair on Saturday. Thanks to the organisers for inviting us, the volunteers for making it happen and everyone who stopped to chill on the most comfortable seats on the street. Extra special thanks to our new friends and customers who took furniture home with them.
Come and see Mr Planks sustainable upcycled furniture for yourself at the St Werburghs City Farm fair on Saturday the 3rd of June. Sitting is believing.
Mr Planks furniture will be on display on June the 3rd 2017 at the famous St Werburghs City Farm Fair. Come and chill on the most comfortable seats at the show.
Because Mr Plank’s designs are comfortable, sustainably produced and built to last.
Tt Woodwork upcycles scaffolding boards to make beautiful garden furniture. Visit our shop to see the full range of designs by our chief carpenter, Mr Plank.
This is very cool – 3D models of Mr Plank’s designs that you can rotate, pan and zoom! They even support viewing with virtual reality googles. Mr Plank is now officially a big fan of sketchfab.com
We’ll be adding more exploded models like the one below to make it really easy for you to see how to assemble our products. You won’t need any frustrating and complicated IKEA style instructions with Tt Woodwork furniture.
I visited Mr Plank’s dad recently. It is true to say that Mr Plank is a chip off the old block: I have no doubt it’s sap in their veins instead of blood.
Rod is a charming chap who’s spending his retirement keeping busy in the workshop. He produces astonishing works of art like the foot tall chalice pictured. Having had the privilege of holding this beautiful object in my hands and looking closely, I’m happy to report that it appears to be impossible to make.
How can you produce seamless joints between different pieces of wood over curved surfaces?
Rod has developed a technique that he has dubbed “Multi Dimensional Woodturning”. The lathe he uses is of his own design; in addition to turning the piece of work it simultaneously oscillates it in three dimensions. The secret of the chalice above is that it’s turned from a composite of different blocks of wood.
Hard to visualise? Check out this video – I still find it hard to see what’s happening when I can see it!
Mr Plank has been out and about enjoying the sun in St Werburghs, Bristol. His friends at Re – Furnish have now got Kids Benches and chairs in the store. Lovely.
We’ll post about new retail outlets here as we find more friendly local businesses to work with.
Have a look at newest model!
