My woodworking journey began in 2003, sparked by a visit to my brother in Australia. Waking up to the sun rising over the mist-filled fields, teeming with kangaroos, I found myself captivated by the peaceful beauty of the countryside. In this small town outside of Brisbane, with limited entertainment options, I turned to my brother's vast collection of power tools and his extensive library of old American woodworker magazines.

​

Days turned into weeks as I immersed myself in the world of woodworking, learning by doing and creating everything from benches and tables to a rocking horse for a close family friend. I loved the challenge of mastering different joints, from the simple half-lap to the intricate dovetail.

​

Fast forward to today, and my woodworking passion has evolved into WHCreations, a thriving business offering bespoke furniture and restoration services. After a 12-year career in the railway industry, serving as a train guard and driver, a track incident unfortunately affected my mental health, leading to early medical retirement. Determined to pursue my lifelong passion, I established WHCreations. While I've been woodworking for many years, it was only after leaving the railway that I turned my hobby into a thriving business.

​

Beyond creating beautiful pieces, I'm passionate about sharing my woodworking knowledge and inspiring others. That's why I launched my YouTube channel, WHCreations, where I offer tutorials and behind-the-scenes glimpses into my process. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned brands like Evolution power tools, Bosch, Banggood, Base Camp, and AlgoLaser, creating content for social media platforms.

​

In 2024, I took a significant step forward by moving into a new, spacious workshop in Leigh, Reigate. This fantastic space has provided me with an incredible array of tools, allowing me to expand my skills and take on larger projects.

​

My core principles are built on quality and collaboration. I take immense pride in crafting beautiful and durable pieces, but most importantly, I prioritise fully understanding your needs and ideas. This collaborative approach ensures the final product not only reflects your vision but also seamlessly integrates into your space.

​

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse clientele. From crafting bespoke tables for homes and gardens to creating a flag stand for a local army regiment (used at events across Europe!), my experience encompasses a wide range of projects. Additionally, I've recently expanded my skillset to include furniture refurbishing, promoting sustainability through the reuse of existing pieces.
