For many years I have wanted to make a long case clock. Now, 7 years after buying the movement, I have finally completed my first one, which is for my wife’s 50th birthday. The movement is a German Hermle model with a Westminster chime and moon phase dial. The case is made from cherry with a medium stain. I have modelled this one on the building that houses our showroom, Longnor Market Hall.

           

I am planning to put one in the showroom and make them as bespoke pieces incorporating features as customers wish. As a guide price this would cost around £5,000. Dimensions are 81″ x 15″ x 11″.

Please contact me if you are interested and would like to know more or discuss a possible commission.

 

As ever we can deliver anywhere in Britain if required.

Well, I am back to full strength again and very happy to be back in the workshop full time. We have been busy making stocks of small gift items for the Craft Centre, which is open every day until Christmas day, 10am til 5pm. Our legendary coffee shop is open throughout this period.

As ever we are busy with our commissioned orders, I’ll update the site very soon. Our waiting list takes us up to Easter currently, so please consider this if you are thinking about ordering any larger items. We have made some new pieces for the showroom also, which will be on here in the next few days. As ever, feel free to give us a call if you would like to discuss a commission, 01298 84467.

Not all my customers and website viewers will know that I have recently had a triple heart bypass operation. It was 5 weeks ago today so recovery is well under way. I am not back at work full time yet but work has been continuing, thanks to my trusty team of Rory and Mags. We will soon be back to full strength, making some spectacular pieces for our current orders and ready to take on many more orders, after having my health problem rectified, something I am now aware that has been holding me back for 7 years.

Our name stools have been very popular recently along with the restored Stoke City Victoria Ground seats. We have also seen an increasing demand for larger cabinets and dining sets.

If you are considering an order please allow plenty of time as our waiting list is 3-5 months. You can call us direct at the workshop on 01298 84467 to discuss possible commissions or arrange a visit.
