Driven by my ADHD, interested in almost everything, jack of all trades, master of fuck all.

Currently teaching myself bladesmithing, wood turning, metal milling/lathe work amongst many other things.

Personal/professional

I work in IT/development, currently studying computing and IT at Open University, currently an admin/baby dev for a platform called ServiceNow at my company, super exciting/interesting stuff. Not from Nottingham, may move back home at some point, will be devastated to lose access to the space and community, maybe a chance to build a community of my own.

Things I plan to learn

Wanted to learn how to blacksmith for a long time, will be doing an experience of this in 2025, looking forward to forging my own blade rather than creating through stock removal, will be hopefully learning how to use the Bridgeport/Myford Lathe and welders in 2025, have wanted to learn how to tig weld for a long time, I love buying crap cars, knowing how to weld them back together would be a massive bonus.

Ongoing projects

• Segmented wood vessel/bowl from laminated segments
• More wood turning projects than I can count currently
• Segmented stave snare drum
• Knives, knifes and more knives, wanting to craft more kitchen knives which have practical use, awaiting a railroad anvil to forge some sections
• Trying to create some interesting physical objects for a tattooist who has a large body of work on my skin
