We can carve or burn most things

Engraving and cutting most materials with either a cnc or CO2 laser

Our machines

We have an Axiom i2r8 cnc machine which is an entry level commercial piece of kit (shown above) which is also where our CO2 laser the HPC6090 with a 100W tube is classified.

We specialise in things that require a high level of detail and like to work with re/upcycled oak from gateleg table tops. The laser side of things is starting to get busier so we may have to look at becoming theOakman+.

We operate from a garden workshop run off solar panels, we use re/upcyled materials wherever possible we have a well kitted out workshop to allow for items to be finished once carved or burnt.  We prefer to work with local businesses and want to offer an opportunity for people who might want to, to come and see what can be done with a cnc or laser.



I have included a few examples of the kind of work we do below

Text on Text

I especially like the way the Vectric software I use can cleverly create this effect so you can have text looking like it is underneath  or on top of other text.

Special signs

Given to show you have had the
required training.

Unique Parts + Prototypes

Both the cnc and laser machines can make things you couldn't contemplate making by hand. The accuracy and repeatability sets them apart, here helping making items for the delivery of STEM training in schools.

Height Charts

Great presents for grandparents or parents to give - metric and imperial measurements plus a sliding marker

Personalised Thermal Bottles

Why not have your name and logo on yours? they're very popular in the US and it's growing over here - needs a 4th axis on the laser.

Fire Service Retirement

I work closely with a local retired fire officer who makes very personalised retirement plaques for colleagues throughout the North West/West Midlands

Wedding Gifts

We have several very special ideas that have sold especially well for weddings as well as other special occasions - we have a memory box with the venue, the wedding flowers and the couple's names and the date carved into the lid in their chosen font.
