Blog
I started this blog in October 2009 when I moved workshops from Denby Dale, near Huddersfield, up to Blubberhouses, north of Leeds. The intention is to tell the story of how the workshop and attached Gallery (http://www.designermakers.co.uk/) develops. Of course I'll also include comment on furniture making in general and other incidents of interest.
However I realise that the blogoshpere can be a bit turgid in places so I hope that my postings will be relatively pithy and readable.
