Mattt

It's late and the router is still warm from a packed weekend of excitements. One of which was machining new Juki sewing machine mounts in some CD ply for Mattt's new retail space on Gertrude St. Opening soon so keep your eyes open. Is gonna be so hot right now ;)

THIS IS NOT A DESIGN MARKET

Excitement! Like Butter will be performing at its first design market on the 19th of July. THIS IS NOT A DESIGN MARKET is a new market operated by Moth Design and BTTB. Bound to be a huge day of design filled pleasures. Hope to see you there. x

Getting to work

getting to work, originally uploaded by Jem S Freeman.

When the shop is clean and tidy I love getting to work in the morning. In the foreground is a workbench we're making for Susan from Spin Spin. And lurking illuminated in the machine room is the mighty plasmatron, soon to have her extraction upgraded. More on that later.

Artichoke #27 Stalker Stands

Excitement! The lovely Kate Rhodes of Artichoke magazine saw our Stalker Stands at Penthouse Mouse (PHM) and has published them in the new product pages of her magazine. And furthermore the double page spread on Moth Design's PHM features large shiny photos of our product that smell of fresh magazine ink and quality stock. We're pretty excited and ever grateful to both Kate Rhodes and all of Moth Design for making it happen in the first place.

Ply Shelving

Our new book shelves. Designed by Laura and produced over the last few days in those moments of spare time that are so hard to capture. They contain a total of three sheets of 18mm CD ply, very few offcuts and no fasteners. Can't wait to get them home and unpack the books that currently dominate our little living room.

Gong

Because every good workshop should have a 1200mm gong for bringing home the little plasma creatures. Meep meep meep. This is Ben's creation, our new and exciting employee.

Aluminium is for babies

A friend's bub is turning 1, so a wax seal is in order. Not the cleanest machining I've seen but I'm reasonably happy. The aluminium burrs up a bit, not sure what to polish it with. Any suggestions?
