craigmakes

After 20 years of sitting in front of a computer screen making digital things, I have nothing physical to show for it; just some digital footprints that will be purged one day or overhauled in favour of a new design.

Over the past few years I have found great pleasure in making physical, real-world objects. Not just using my hands, but using all of my senses to create a something I can feel. This year long project will see me re-connecting with my natural instinct to make physical objects which are both practical and beautiful.

I shall be documenting each make over on my YouTube channel and will be selling the objects I make each week here on this website. I am sure to learn lots over the coming year and hope that you find both my content enjoyable and my products useful.

How-to guides

As well as being available to purchase on this site, all products will have an accompanying 'how-to' guide so you can make the product yourself. Videos will be uploaded to the YouTube account every week so be sure to subscribe.

FAQ

What will you be making?

To be honest, I am not even sure yet. I have a list of things to make for the first 8-10 weeks. I am pretty sure that the skills I learn over this time will inspire me to think of other useful, practical and beautiful items.

Will your products be one-off's?

I'm sure that some of the larger items will be one-off's but the smaller ones can be replicated. The idea is to sell the things I make so there will be some commercial decisions to be made for each product.

Can I copy your products?

Absolutely. All products will have an accompanying 'how-to' video and I would love to see peoples own interpretations of my products.

What tools & equipment do you use?

I'm sure the list will grow over the year, but all of the tools and machinery I use are readily available in any of the DIY superstores. Specific tools for each product will be listed in each 'how-to' video.
