A customer just dropped these at the workshop ahead of an upcoming project. This marks an exciting new chapter for yours truly, as I'm happy to announce that I am now offering camper/motorhome/day van conversions. All styles to be catered for, but with a bias towards traditional, rustic, or reclaimed woodworking with an eye on upcycling. If you have a van, or plan on getting one, please talk to me about your conversion needs. Let me put you on the road to happiness.

John is late to the party.... again!! This might be my new favourite thing. Coffee bags. Coffee..... in a bag 😮😮 What a time to be alive. Ideal as a treat while I'm waiting for my big insulated coffee mug to cool sufficiently. #coffee #caffeine #taylors #workshopsurvival #gettingmybuzzon

And that's the other set of drawer fronts fitted.... Phew, I can relax now that there were no mishaps. Now it's time to sand, sand, sand. Then my favourite, bit.... oil 😁😁 #jdcustomwoodwork #cabinetmaking #cabinetmaker #joinery #designermaker #walnut #blum #legrabox #walkinwardrobe

Black #legrabox from #blum looks soooo sexy on Walnut. This might be my new favourite thing. #cabinetmaking #cabinetmaker #walnut #jdcustomwoodwork #usk #monmouthshire #osmo #walnut #bespoke #custom #interiors #homeimprovement

Food photos are sooooo boring..... Unless they're mine 😁 Walnut and Almond Oaty Pancakes. Fruit, honey and Greek Yoghurt. 50 shades of yum 😀😀

"May need some assembly......" The last few days were spent oiling acres of Walnut veneer. Today it all gets put together. This one has been on the drawing board for most of 2017, glad to see it finally coming together. #cabinetmaking #cabinetmaker #walnut #jdcustomwoodwork #designermaker #wardrobes #walkinwardrobe #closet #custommade #bespoke #design #homeimprovement #usk #monmouthshire

This healthy eating/batch cooking thing is starting to pay off. It doesn't get much tastier than this. I might put some cinnamon on tomorrow's portion 😁 #melon #nectarine #kiwifruit #grapes #greekyogurt #honey #workshopsurvival #workshopessentials #jdcustomwoodwork

A new 2.1 sound system in the #workshop is a perfect excuse to go to the less frequented corners of #MyPod I'd forgotten how good this album is #turnitupto11 #workshopsurvival #tunes

Finally got the bath panels fitted. Burned Red Western Cedar, lap jointed and finished in #osmo Amber. Ķarndean Charred Oak supplied and fitted by @blackbarn_flooring #barefootworthyfloors I still have some walls to paint, but thus far, my very fussy client (me) is really happy with it all 😁😁 #jdcustomwoodwork #bespoke #cabinetmaker #cabinetmaking #carpentry #woodworking #woodporn #cedar #karndean #houzz #interiors #bathroom #design #luxurious #haven (at JD Custom Woodwork)

I can't make up my mind which detail I like the most on this project..... So I'll just be a bit self-indulgent once more, and post them all 😁

I'm especially happy how this pantry unit has turned out; there was a huge amount of work put into it. Solid oak shelves and door racks. #minerva work surfaces. #blum legeabox drawers.
