Creator Stories Film 2 - Peter Booth.
@peterboothdesigns is a woodworker who, whilst battling his depression, discovered a love of woodworking. He makes a range of beautifully crafted wooded pieces designed to provide anxiety relief. Peter was very open with me about his mental health journey, something I believe is hugely important, especially when you’re a man.

Recent work with @bigpurplegroup for a @terrydehavilland install in Fenwicks, Newcastle. Had a great time getting stuck in with this one with most of my time spent painstakingly cutting out the slots for shelves.

It was an absolute pleasure working with @topofthepropsne on the set for @sunderlandafc and the release of their new home kit.
It was great fun creating this nostalgic set that relates to so many people, and a big shout out to @molliehirst and @bethanapple . Dream of a team. 👏🏻
Also it was nice to be able to set it up again outside their shop for fans to pick up their new kit and get a picture with their trophy.
Also check out the last slide for a cheeky surprise... 👀🖤🤍

A few shots of the final piece next to things and people for scale… and me in a cute suit.

The last step was to put a finish on all the bits. I’m preeeetty sure I used Rubio monocoat. But whatever I used, WOW. Like just look how nice they look.
You get a better look at the hard wear too. Super easy to assemble. The only bits are the disks, the support dowels, and the three little feet that give it a nice floating look. Those are just attached with small screws and can also easily be taken apart.

After getting all the disks flush trimmed to their final size i gave them a quick sand to remove any burn, then started on putting a stonking big round over on them. Pretty sure i had to buy a new router bit for this too…
I went for the round-over over a chamfer just because I wanted it to feel more homely and cosy and less modern contemporary. You know? Well it makes sense in my head.
After the round-overs came the sanding.. which wasn’t even bad. Sand, sand, spray, sand.
I worked out the spacing for the levels and cut the dowel to size. Installing wood to metal furniture dowels to each end, and threaded inserts to the disks.
I did this so it’s super easy to take apart, transport, and assemble. Just spin the disks.

This was the start of a very special project. My sister asked me to make a tiered cake stand for her wedding. I had to be careful not to share anything on my stories incase she saw anything because I wanted it to be a surprise.
I wanted to save time so I ordered pre planed and cut pieces from a company that I won’t mention. I ended up having to spend more time milling everything because nothing was square and it was all warped.
ANYWAY, I decided to go for Beech because of its utility and warm colour. I started out by getting some circle templates CNCd thanks to @pow_workshops , and laying out the slab before glueing to workout where to place them and avoid cutting through biscuit joints.
Then rough cutting out the disks and using a BIG flush trim bit to clean it up. More posts and pictures to come.

Finally found the snail! Looks better than I remember. 😏
The Rubio looks so good on these, and I love how subtle the difference in colour is from each section depending on the piece of Sapele.

A bit of sanding to soften them out, and a bit of tape to make sure I don’t put the finish where I’m going to glue.

I’m not one for wasting wood, so putting together some random off cuts I made these cute lil guys.
Who do you prefer?

Little throw back to a big stack of bears after their first rough sanding.

I know a lot of you guys loved the burned bears. So when I’m all sorted I’ll be making a batch just for a lucky few.
