I've cheated, I'm not making it myself. I trained as a furniture designer but one thing led to another and I ended up doing other stuff and its now so long since I made anything I don't trust myself to do myself justice (if that makes any sense). And so, after years of wanting to get some stuff built I finally found a great cabinet maker who is willing to do stuff at cost on the basis that he might get batch orders if I can get up and running and because he liked what I had designed.
My hope is once I have one piece to show and create a website for etc I'll be able to get going, we'll see, what ever happens at least I have something that I designed myself (and my girlfriend gets a unique christmas present!). Will post some pics when its done if I'm happy with it.
