Design & Fabrication

Our bespoke services come with the benefit of our combined sets of professional skills, knowledge and experience in the fields of architecture and automotive engineering. In the studio we develop our ideas and love to design. In the atelier we process our ideas and designs to create. In our workshops we engage with others to inspire. We have a creative and collaborative, design-led approach to the work we provide from within our studio, atelier and workshops.

DESIGN STUDIO AND Atelier

Our creative laboratory is the atelier in which our ideas and designs come to life. We specialise in sheet metal fabrication and coachbuilding, using traditional and modern techniques for bespoke projects, as well as the restoration or modification of vintage and classic vehicles. 

Our atelier is equipped with a machine shop and fabrication area which allows quality and timescale control over highly specialised and bespoke work. We work with a variety of metals including steel, aluminium, brass and copper. We produce steel and aluminium bodywork for the restoration of vintage and classic cars and motorcycles as well as custom projects.

We value ideas and process just as much as the constructed projects. We have a deep interest in historical precedents and we are constantly building on our awareness of materials, technology and extending our research through experimentation whilst exploring the potential of our work as sculptural form. We love to work with natural and industrial materials to create beautiful and unique work. We also undertake the design and fabrication of bespoke projects including furniture, sculpture and architectural work.

Inspiring Workshops

We love to share our knowledge and skills with individuals who are inspired by our work and have an interest in the art of metal shaping. We offer ‘one to one’ and ‘two to one’ courses all year round and welcome all levels of experience. We will show you how to produce hand finished panels and components with basic tools and equipment and also demonstrate how to use a wheeling machine to produce smooth surfaces on complex double curvature panels.

Courses can be tailored to suit your needs and focus on specific techniques. At the end of the course, you will go away with a valuable set of skills and confidence necessary to tackle your own project. 

Pattern making: Measuring and marking out complex shapes and structures accurately

Jig building: Constructing basic jigs and fixtures to aid reproduction of original parts

Body construction: Aligning panels to create flowing bodylines and parallel gaps

Tool making: How to construct simple tooling to replicate original recesses etc.

Shaping: Hand forming and smoothing double curvature panels and elementary use of the wheeling machine.

Flanging: Shrinking and stretching metal to form convex & concave curved flange.

TIG welding: Joining thin sheets of metal using a TIG welder with or without adding filler rod depending on the application. This is an important technique used in the making and fitting of repair panels and high quality fabrication to produce strong and aesthetically pleasing weld joints.

Oxy-acetylene [gas] welding: Joining thin sheets of metal using a gas torch with or without adding filler rod depending on the material and application. This is a traditional technique used in the making and fitting of repair panels to achieve a seamless joint.

Annealing: Annealing aluminium alloy to aid shaping.
