~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been interested in fixing and creating since I was a child. Although I have worked in many fields and have a more academic education I have always played with different forms of craft, art, and industrial arts and have an amazing "shed" which has been my recreation and wind down place. My handyman time has steadily shifted from a marginal earner to my primary source of income. I decided in 2009 to concentrate on handy man work as a business. I have never been happier or more relaxed in my work !
I approach most jobs with the confidence that i will be able to see a way to do it well. For me a good ratio is to rely on about 85% prior experience and 15% discovery and experimentation. I am able to visualise an outcome and examine mental pictures of processes and stages to create the outcome. I will often work through a process in my mind modifying it as i see improvements and work through problems. This allows me to start a job with a good idea of how it will go and it is normal for me to get a good result first time even for a job which may be new to me. I recently had the opportunity to work part time in a cabinet making factory with a view to upgrading my skills in cabinet making, installation, and shop fitting.
I have restored boats, wooden and fibreglass, done all my own mechanical and vehicle bodywork for years, done home restoration, built a marine plywood and firbreglass spa from scratch... and many other diverse projects. Check out my gallery !

Fair Rates
I work for reasonable hourly rates and only charge for the time and expense I put into a job, including planning and time to source materials. If you send me pictures and detailed information about your job I can take a guess at how long a job will take but this is only a guideline due to unseen issues which often come to light after a job commences. Payment is due on the day unless otherwise by prior arrangement.
