The Old Tool Room

🛠Ballustrade design 🛠

We designed, and manufactured this ballustrade.

It’s made from Norwegian pine, that comes off a German Mine Hunter built in 1953, straight after the World War 2.

We had the privilege of salvaging some of the timber after the ship was decommissioned.

The beams were apart of the uprights in the ships cabins.

This timber is over 70 years old, it’s been sanded and polished, now at home in beautiful Noordhoek.

We designed and created this memory tree along with the live edge counter top for contrast into the kitchen 🔥 - what do you think?

An apothecary ☺️

All organised and everything has its home.

👏21 pigeon holes
👏 sustainably sourced birch ply
👏 sliding doors to maximise the small space
👏 corner medical waste bin

I loved working on this project thanks

We had some beautiful off cuts that helped turn this into a memory tree 🌲

The family pins up little notes, lists and photies to fill this up beautifully 😊

Our teak pivot door is finally complete after months of chopping and sharpening chisels 😅

What you see is:

- 22 Mortice and tenon joints
- 32 half lap joints
- 3mortices for lock and pivot hinge
- 45 panes of glass
- 180 beadings

Next step to install it…then an ice cold beer 🍻!!!
