    Andy has been making and repairing in a shed at the bottom of the garden since 2008. His often quirky projects have been exhibited, featured in magazines and even won him a trip to New York.

    After some basic metal and woodwork at school, he then learnt machining, CAD and drawing with the aerospace company Dowty. He has been soldering circuit boards since small and learnt gas brazing during a short course at Stroud College in the 1990s. He used both of these techniques when creating the “flea chariot” which was later exhibited at Porter & Jenkinson‘s Curious Pursuits at the Portico Library and Gallery in Manchester

    Andy completed an artist welding course at Chelsea College of Art & Design in 2009 where he learnt MIG welding and created a metal sculpture. Shortly after he bought a TIG welder and has been practising on little projects ever since.

    Though 2017 he wrote the book "A Little Saw" whilst commuting across London after being inspired by Andy Leeks' "As they slept".

    5.0 out of 5 stars How To Choose A Hand Saw
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2018
    Format: Kindle Edition
    If you are working with hand saws, and multiple materials (being a robot builder I get through quite a few), this book gives the lowdown on finding the right kind of saw, and the considerations in using it effectively. It's too easy to grab the wrong saw, otr use it the wrong way, and spend a lot of time making a mess, where the right tool at the right time will work.
