    Displayyy

    I wanted a quiet object on the wall: something that wakes up once a day, shows a few picks (album, film, series, track…), then goes back to sleep. This project is Displayyy: part salvage, part software, part box-making. Why this exists I like the idea of a small daily ritual: open my eyes, glance at a…

    Computer speakers

    I wanted to rehouse my old computer sound systems in plain wood. I had some old drawers on hand, and the goal was simple: smaller enclosures, natural timber, and a cleaner look than the original plastic and painted boxes.Another motivation was to bring them together: I had acquired the two systems in different ways, and…

    Wooden cube

    A friend asked me for a wooden cube. No joinery, no moving parts, no brief beyond the shape. Simple on paper. In practice, every face has to match, every corner has to land at ninety degrees, and a cut that drifted has nowhere to hide. I made it from reclaimed wood, with no jointer, no…

    Walnut footrest

    A friend gave me walnut boards that had been damaged by woodworm. After treating the wood thoroughly, I decided to give them a second life rather than throw them away. The idea was to build a small footrest: simple, sturdy, and pleasant to use every day. Later I added a removable top, so the same…

    Desk

    Desk made for the practical exam (EP2) of the NVQ in Carpentry and Furniture making, 2026 session. Solid-ash underframe, MDF cabinet body faced with laminate, solid-ash drawer. The machines were already set: the real work was reading the drawing — and recovering when stress produced two copies of the same part.

The idea was to design a coffee table around that initial constraint, and turn it into a functional and aesthetic piece.…

    Kitchen Cabinet

    A learning project using melamine panels This project marks the build of my first kitchen cabinet.The goal was to learn a clean and repeatable workflow: full-scale layout, panel cutting, edge banding, and biscuit-joint assembly. 1. Full-scale layout As with my other projects, I started with a full-scale layout to validate dimensions, assembly logic, and part organization before machining.…

The goal was to make a pair of simple, sturdy, and repeatable sawhorses, following a clear workflow from stock preparation to final glue-up. 1. Preparation and layout Before machining, I prepared the parts and marked…

    The Scenery

    For this project, I wanted to create a monotone landscape illustration that dynamically represents the solar system based on the user’s time, date, and location. What started as a simple static illustration quickly evolved into an interactive experience where the sky changes color according to the time of day, planets position themselves accurately in the…
