Traditional craftsmanship

All my pieces are built exclusively to order and entirely by hand.

First, I saw and plane each piece of wood to its starting dimensions, then I cut and fit each joint by hand and finally refine the shape of each piece with a small set of traditional hand-tools, some of them more than 100 years old. Handsaws, chair making planes and chisels present the backbone of my tool chest.

No modern joining techniques are used to speed things up, no computer steered CNC routers, no big stationary machines, no noise, no dust. This allows me to focus on the building process with all my senses and with a surprisingly small footprint, right in the heart of Amsterdam.
