THE FIRST THING YOU'LL SEE
The reception desk!
This where Andrew Skelton (our artist) lives, right next door to a barn that is his workshop. No rush hour commuting to the office for Andrew! .


You can see Kath (Architectural Technologist), Andrew and Helen (Landscape Architect) admiring the view.




Here we are inspecting the desk. Did we mention before that the desk is made out of the beams from the old infants school hall? That's what the big pile of wood is in the background, it's to make a seat to go in the atrium.

There are lots of different machines needed to do all the woodwork jobs. This one above is a bandsaw for very careful cutting of small pieces of wood. BRIX BE CAREFUL! Mind your paws!!
This one is a drill for making holes, it also has a vice which holds the wood still while it is drilled.

This funny looking thing is a 'thicknesser/planer' it makes your bits of wood just the right thickness for the job! It can make fat pieces thin but it can't make thin pieces fat.
