Single Handedly Made
Makers Central postponed, how about a One Handed Makers Challenge? 😀
updated
It is called ‘Be Your Own Boss’ and was filmed here in Formby over the Summer. Holly Tucker M.B.E, founder of Holly & Co and NotOnTheHighStreet arrives at my Workshop and with her expert guidance, vision and support offers to help grow my small business.
It was incredible to be a part of this experience and if you manage to catch it I hope you enjoy it. The series runs for 5 episodes on ITV and I will be featuring on Episode 1, this Sunday, 19th October at 1:15pm. You can also catch all 5 episodes streaming on ITVX from Sunday too!

The Oak came from PB Hardwoods (Merseyside), and I joined the boards using the Festool Domino before sanding, chamfering, and finishing. For the first time, I used Rubio Monocoat products:
- Precolour Intense Black
- Oil Plus 2C
- Sheen Plus
A huge thank you to my friend Sam @monkeyboysworkshop on Instagram (instagram.com/monkeyboysworkshop) for walking me through his 3-step finishing process!
In this video, I share the full build process, my thoughts on the Rubio Monocoat finish, and an honest review of the buying experience — including what went well and what could have been better.
👉 Would I buy Rubio again? Watch until the end to hear my conclusion.

What we did in this video:
- Built the base frame with treated timber
- Added joists and noggins for a sturdy structure
- Used the Trend DK/JIG Concealed Screw Deck Jig to achieve clean, hidden fixings
Why the DK/JIG works so well:
- Automatically drives screws at the perfect 50° angle — no more visible screw heads
- Precision spacers (3.5–6.5 mm) for consistent board gaps
- Quick-release clamp fits boards from 90–150 mm wide

In this video, I talk about my first 'viral' YouTube Shorts video – sharing both the positive impact and the lessons learned from some of the challenges it brought. The positives have truly outweighed the negatives, but I believe in being transparent and sharing both sides of the story.
You'll also hear about my ongoing projects, why the channel has been a bit quiet in terms of long-form videos, and my exciting plans for upgrading the workshop’s dust extraction system. Keep an eye out for more updates on that soon!
Pam and I will be attending Makers Central 2025 this year on Saturday, so if you’re going, please come and say hello. We’d love to meet you all.

Welcome to the second and final part of this in-depth mini-series testing outdoor wood finishes on hardwood cladding. After 10 months of full weather exposure, it's time to reveal which finishes protected best, which ones failed, and which offer the best value for money!
In this video, I revisit the full test setup—including how I ensured a fair and even playing field, and how you can support this small, independent woodworking YouTube channel (with over 20k amazing subscribers!) without spending a penny.
We’ll look closely at all 9 finishes tested (affiliated links further down the description):
Danish Oil (Cornish Chopping Board Company) - £14.99 lt
Tung Oil (Cornish Chopping Board Company) - £15.95 lt
Oslo UV Protection Oil - £34.11 lt
Rubio Monocoat Durogrit - £74.40 lt
Sikkens Cetol HLS Plus & Filter 7 Plus (Teak) - £61.22 lt for both components
Treatex Bangkirai Oil - £29.12 lt
Polyvine Exterior Wood Varnish - £30.30 lt
Ronseal Ultimate Decking Oil - £10 lt
Watered-down Titebond III wood glue - approx £5 lt
📸 Detailed close-ups show how each finish has weathered over time—perfect if you're deciding how to treat hardwood cladding, fencing, decking, or other exterior woodwork.
Finally, I break down the results, highlight standout performers, and give my honest recommendations based on durability, appearance, and price.
👇 Let me know your thoughts in the comments—have you used any of these? What’s worked best for you?
👍 Like, 💬 comment, and 🔔 subscribe with the bell on to support more real-world, long-term wood finish tests!

In this video, I take you through the full process of creating a stunning double-sided wooden and resin sign for my market stall at Redbrick Market, Liverpool! Using the XTool S1 20W laser engraver, I precisely cut my logo into wood, bringing my brand to life with incredible detail. To add a professional touch, I used Craft Resin for a glossy, high-quality backdrop that makes the sign pop!
💡 But that's not all! This project also includes woodworking with Iroko, where I custom-built a chunky recessed frame in the style of an old pub sign to complete the project. Finally, I take you behind the scenes as I install the sign at my seller’s space—a huge step in promoting my small business!

This project came with its fair share of challenges! The existing concrete fence posts were quite uneven, so I had to come up with a creative installation method to make everything fit securely. On top of that if you're new to the channel, I only work with one functioning arm and hand, so I’m always finding unique solutions to complete projects independently.
Whether you’re into woodworking, DIY projects, or simply believe in helping your community, I hope this video inspires you to put your skills to good use! Let me know in the comments—have you ever helped a neighbour with a DIY project?
