For those of you who have been following along for a while the first episode of the new rocking chair video will follow a pretty familiar format. However, it actually marks the start of a new way of thinking about the content of this site. We have released bits of information here and there about…
As I am sure you are all aware, we are in a global pandemic. I wanted to let you all know a bit about how we are handling this as a team. Thursday last week we started working from home rather than in our office/studio/workshop. Our team are all healthy so far, but we wanted…
This has been a busy year and one where we made our biggest move yet, into our new studio/workshop/office.

Did you think we were done celebrating? We want to show you a little bit more of the workshop where the videos are filmed. Enjoy! Feel free to ask questions and we will try to answer them.
