thanks for your kind words mate, I also did lots of jobs ranging from fileting fish on the docks to a motorcycle courier in london, I was knocked of my bike and snapped my arm in half, after having lots of metal work put in and six moths rest, I went to the local collage and did a city and guilds in furniture making then i did a degree and a masters ,so having left school with no qualifications i now have as more letters after my name as i have in it LOL, never to late to train.
I did used to make indoor work but its very hard to break into the contemporary furniture market,and I like the direct for of workmanship that i do, so now I hardly ever do any indoor work.
my range of work can be seen here, www.chrisnanglefurniture.co.uk
I am looking forward to making 7 3mt long solid carved seats for sunderland seafront each will have a different sea condition carved into the top as the seats ,should be on that in the next few months.
