An absolute pleasure working with the Pictish Arts Society and Aberlemno and District to install the Flemington Pictish Stone in its brand new home in the Aberlemno Village Hall. Weighing a whopping 600kg, this large stone required some hefty steel bracketry and a resin shoe to keep upright. @pictishartssociety #aberlemno #aberlemnopictishstones #aberlemnostones

Some more of the objects on display from the recently opened exhibition at Royal College of Physicians. If you’ve got a plague mask that needs a mount, we’ve got you! @physiciansgallery @theworkhausprojects

Proud to have been involved in the newly opened exhibition at the Royal College of Physicians. We manufactured custom mounts and fitting of the objects in the display cases. This included stethoscopes, prosthetic legs, weapons, a plague mask and an alchemical scroll. @physiciansgallery @theworkhausprojects

Some of the carved stones that have gone back on display at Dumbarton Castle. For each of the stones we fabricated a resin shoe to fit, custom steel frame and bracketry, all with a powdercoat finish #Histenvscot #Dumbarton castle @histenvscot @historicscotland

We have just completed an exciting new redisplay at Dumbarton Castle for Historic Environment Scotland. Always great fun to work with their stone conservation team and to trial some brand new lifting equipment. This included puzzling out a custom frame for lifting a very heavy stone cannonball! #Histenvscot #Dumbarton castle @histenvscot @historicscotland

Some more mounts that we fabricated and installed at the Royal & Ancient Golf Club in St Andrews. This included mounting a set of three crossed golf clubs adorned with a new silver golf ball for the winner each year. Unsurprisingly quite heavy! @therandagolf
