The Tambour Door Experiment

My sister-in-law wanted a custom curved under sink bathroom cabinet for her beach chalet - it's a tight space! I've always wanted to have a go at building a curved tambour door, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try! I recently acquired a salvaged toddler bed so I will repurpose the timber from that. But I jumped straight in to building this project without planning it first. Will that come back to bite me? Let's find out!

The Problems With My Office (And How I Fixed Them)

The "Dream Desk" build from years ago was a failure. After years of woodworking and DIY, I realized my office layout just wasn't working. It was dark, cramped, and lacked any real character. And I spent an awful lot of time in this room! So, I decided to do something a little bit different. In this video, I’m stepping out of the workshop and into the world of interior design (with a little help from Caroline Winkler's design principles).

A HUGE Desk On A Tight Budget

My brother wanted a HUGE L-shaped dream desk on a tight budget - so let's see what we can do with some 2x2 timber and 18mm moisture resistant MDF.

We Made a HUGE MISTAKE Fixing A Shower Leak

In this one, we’re tackling a recurring shower leak that’s been haunting us for TWO YEARS! After ripping out the tiles, we found a nightmare of rotten plywood and black mold—but the real drama started when we unboxed the shower panels... We also learned what went wrong with the original installation.

We made a massive mistake storing our new shower panels, and they ended up "bent like a banana." Watch as Aiden and I scramble to save a £700 investment using some questionable DIY bracing and a lot of patience.

How To Build A Gate To Last DECADES

After years of building and repairing garden gates, I’ve seen exactly why they fail. Today, I’m at my aunt’s house to replace a rotting plywood disaster with a heavy-duty timber gate built to survive the British weather for decades. I’m sharing all my hints and tips in one video from moisture management, braces, what timber to use, rot-proofing and the specific joinery that prevents sagging.

We Heard Back From The Log Burner Authority

In this video: MORE issues with our log burner, HETAS respond to the original video and some workshop and garden room updates!

Why We Were Told To STOP USING Our Log Burner

In the summer we received a letter from HETAS suggesting that our wood stove installation was potentially dangerous. This is the story of why HETAS shut down our log burner, why the original installer tried to convince us it was safe, and why the whole process was made far more stressful than it should have been.

One Cut. Endless Regret: Kitchen Worktop

It's back to my brother's kitchen refurbishment project today and I need to fit his new kitchen worktops and attempt my first ever mason's mitre worktop join. Unfortunately it did not go well! But here it is so that you can learn from my one big mistake!

No Cash, No Problem: DIY Shed Build

I needed somewhere to store my new pizza oven over the winter so I built a shed using salvaged materials and things I had laying around for under £150 - what a bargain! It's built strong and should last decades! This is the complete project from start to finish and it would make a great bike shed or general garden storage shed. You can build your own using the plans available below.
