Workshop A – Z

On a recent train journey separated from my workshop I compiled this A-Z of tools and paraphernalia, these are my everyday essentials.

I’m continually rearranging my small workshop to allow me to work with different materials and processes. I like to finish the day by reordering everything I’m using, and putting away things that have become redundant ready to start afresh the next day.

Currently I’m working between wood and wax, making a jig in wood to hold wax rods in place that will be welded together.
