Siddle Woodwork

I have just finished fitting this unit in West Wittering on behalf of a local builder. The process of design, create and install has brought much satisfaction and joy.

It has been all about getting the angles right on these two sets of wall mounted handrails, fitted in Chichester and Hunston recently.

Another one of my vanity units fitted beautifully by others.

There is something very satisfying about seeing projects that you have made, having been fitted and painted.

It has been fun being back in the workshop making these vanity units. They are for a client in West Wittering and done on behalf of a local builder. Once fitted they will be painted and have stone worktops stuck on.

This is Joel. He is two weeks into an apprenticeship with me and is already showing great potential! Eager to learn, with natural talent, Joel has made a great first impression.

It was brilliant to see these wardrobes which I made and fitted last year. They are all decorated up beautifully. There is something special about creating something which can be used practically every day. It brings a huge sense of satisfaction.

I made and fitted these floor to ceiling storage units for a utility room in Godalming.

One forms an airing cupboard, featuring a shelf, hanging rail and beech drying rails (above a small radiator). The other hides underfloor heating pipes and creates space to store taller household items.

I relished in my client's attention to detail and enjoyed the challenge of creating something truly bespoke.

I made, fitted and painted this curved topped, hardwood gate in Lyminster, which replaces the old and rotten one that was there before.

It has been a joy to see these units fitted under the oak staircase. I have also really appreciated the experience of doing a new project.

Huge thanks to my very kind, hospitable clients and for their encouragement throughout. Thanks too for the extra help lifting awkward, heavy units.

Building an understairs storage unit has been something I have always wanted to do. I am pleased with progress so far and looking forward to seeing it all spray painted and fitted.

I am delighted with these rustic, movable bars which go under a newly erected gazebo @ Long Furlong Barn. Such a pleasure working with the barn managers in the design process.

It has been such a pleasure working on this internal stable door from design to completion.

Having awesome clients made the experience all the more enjoyable!

It has only taken me 11 years, but my wife finally has a wardrobe!

So grateful to my good friend Dan Clark for spraying up the wardrobe components for me today in our mates spray shop.

I am pleased with the finish and looking forward to reassembling and fitting tomorrow.

Really pleased with how the steemed beech doors fit onto the wardrobe.

It is all ready for spraying with a lacquer at my mate's spray shop.

So the birch ply carcasses are all dry assembled and ready for doors.

Plan is to hang the doors, take it all apart, get it sprayed with a lacquer then reassemble in its final resting place.

The holes and slots are to help heat from pipes flow through to form an airing cupboard.

It is so satisfying getting to the stage where this stable door is ready for some ironmongery and glass.

Great to have the space in the workshop to hang the door within it's frame before being fitted at it's home in Lyminster.

I am in the middle of two bespoke projects.

The first is an internal, glazed, stable style door to match an existing kitchen made from Poplar wood.

The second is a birch ply wardrobe with beech framework and beech doors to incorporate an airing section.

Keep an eye out for further posts as work progresses......

On a wet day, it is great to have use of a dry workshop to do a spot of window repair. This oak window was split by an attempted break in at a beautiful property in the local area.

Just finished creating these steps and flooring in an ensuite bathroom in Slindon. It all needs sanding down, sealing and decorating by others.

Just finished creating this boiler boxing in, using a beautiful old oak door. The boxing needs electrics done, decoration and carpet refitted.

Here are a few more photos of a handful of projects which I created for a client in West Wittering, while sub contracting for a local builder. Now all beautifully decorated and being used. Very rewarding!

So grateful to a client of local builder in West Wittering, who sent me photos of projects I completed for them last year.

I have completed working on a project to fit curved handrail with metal spindles and newel posts.

This is a project for Apex Carpentry and Construction.

All the handrail, base rail, newel posts and spindles are now glued and sanded up ready for decoration.

Great to have a happy customer! 😊

I finished making and fitting these boot room storage units today, for a family in Petersfield.

I did this project while working alongside Apex Carpentry and Construction.

These verses came to mind this morning.
