About us

I’ve been a web designer and online marketer for 25 years with a keen interest in design with a love for playing the guitar. The amount of guitar designs in the world as always fascinated me. I had always wanted to try building my own guitar as a hobby when I retired. I also wanted learn CNC machining so I purchased a CNC machine and a laser.

I started working with recycled hardwoods and over time made signs and small furniture. My dad was a carpenter who taught me a lot of his skills when I was younger (Had no choice!). As time went on, my wife encouraged me to make different products until it got to a point where we took them to a local markets where I thankfully, got great feedback. The Fanatical Designs idea grew from there. I really enjoy doing what I do.

I love using recycled and repurposed materials, especially old Oak, Beech and Mahogany. I particularly like making small furniture, keeping the design as simple as possible and trying to make designs work in harmony with the natural grain of the wood. I have also made products for a wide range of lifestyle catagories and customer design requests.

I try to make things that are tactile and practical with a bit of design and a hint of humour.

I hope you like what we make.
