About The Crafty Cockney

The Crafty Cockney

I love woodworking and recycling timber, to make lovely rustic home decor items, and hopefully you will love them too.

My full time job is a school caretaker which I love, but in my spare time I like to collect wood from anywhere I can to reuse and create rustic home decor items. I started woodworking several years ago when I had my own bespoke picture framing shop, it is then when I realised that I wanted to make other bespoke item. I get inspired by all different thing, sometimes it's something I have seen and want to put my own twist on it or it could be the Shape of the piece of wood I find. I make all sorts of different items from tealight holder and wall sconce, table Centre piece to display condiments to small table and garden planters, I have made a custom bar for a customer's man shed. I also refurbish old pieces of furniture for customers or to resell, but this isn't something I do a lot due to the space I have. My wife lover her crafting and her cricut machine, so she can customise just about anything and makes a lot of one off items that will be in our shop too.
