Mini Cafe Standing Signs

Posted by Daniel Foote on Thursday, 1 August 2024.

The amazing local <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/maltiacaffe/">Maltia Caffe</a> came to us a while ago, wanting some much nicer signs to go in the cabinet.

They worked, but were hard to change, and after a while they looked a little bit average as they peeled and separated.

Introducing... Minime!

Posted by Daniel Foote on Sunday, 2 June 2024.

We recently had a specific job come through - a repeat of a past order - where we had 550 wooden plaques, and each one required laser engraving on them. Due to the level of detail on the plaque and the area covered, each plaque spent 20 minutes in the laser engraver.

The Spring Mechanism - Why and How

Posted by Daniel Foote on Monday, 18 March 2024.

Most of the things we make are flat - by the nature of the materials that we work from and the machines that we work with. But sometimes, you need to have two of the flat pieces at a right angle... to make something stand up. Like a sign...
