Last but not least, here are a couple of fun commissions that went out this week! 😁

Custom-engraved stainless mug for “Jameson’s Dub Club” — awaiting delivery of some black ones, but thought I'd try the steel, and they are built to last and perfect for those camping vibes ☕✨

An acrylic pass keyring in bold green and white — awesome for new drivers or anyone who loves a bit of custom flair 🚗🔑

Big thanks to everyone trusting me with their ideas! If you’ve got something in mind, or want to chat about a bespoke piece, just drop a message here or hit up the website 👉 https://kmcrafts.cymru

Had a busy week on the laser and wanted to share some of the coolest wooden creations I’ve put together! 🛠️

Check out these custom card boxes with detailed engravings — great for gamers and collectors.

There’s a Mimic box too, perfect for anyone into fantasy, D&D, or just loves quirky storage solutions 👹

Made a Christmas-themed gift box (bottle not included 😉), and an articulated chest for keeping your treasures safe!

There’s even a funky slider box and some other cool bits, all designed and built right here in the workshop.

Been having a blast learning how to use my new CO₂ laser over the last couple of weeks 🔥 It’s opened up a whole world of new projects — especially with leather! 🐄

Check out some of the things I’ve been making lately: coin purses, dice bags, and even custom leather patches for gun slips and ammo cases 🎯

If you fancy something made or just want to see what else I’ve been working on, drop me a message here, on Insta, WhatsApp or pop over to the website 👉 https://kmcrafts.cymru

Thought I'd treat myself and make a nice new box to hold some of my other hobby items.

All done on my new CO2 Laser - 3mm ply just needs to have some stain/wax applied and I think will look awesome.

Couple of hours cutting and sticking together, but would just not have been possible without the new laser.

Just finished a special engraving project for a young chef heading off to catering college. I laser-engraved his initials on a set of stainless steel knives, giving them a personal touch that will last a lifetime. To top it off, I designed and engraved a custom leather patch for his knife bag—perfect for carrying his passion wherever he goes!
If you want to add something special to your own kitchen tools or chef’s kit, send me a message! Personalised engraving makes every piece unique.

Next week sees a good friend and colleague leave to enjoy his retirement - I made him a small gift is a 40mm brass commemorative coin for his time spent teaching, advising and helping all in the business.

Enjoy your retirement Dave - you will be missed.

New laser, New abilities.... Just got myself a nice new CO2 laser and can now make some of the items I wanted to prior to having this, but would just take too long on the diode.

This is a card and dice box that has a lovely hinged mechanism and drawer at the bottom held in with Magnets. Natural and Waxed finishes shown.

Just thought I'd post a little of the recent work - from a photo of my New pup Hugo to a 40mm Engraved Brass Coin. The photos showing a little of the burn, prep and post work and final image in the protective plastic case.
Should be able to make one from any decent photo. I think that it is a good representation and has cut fairly deep and clear. The reverse is plain, but could have any sentiment/message engraved if required.
If you are interested in having a coin made - feel free to contact me for details...

Firstly I have made some cork trivets with some Indian recipes on them and I added these to my website.
When doing this I noticed there was a new AI Feature on my website to create the description for the new trivets I have made and it come up with this little Ditty... Quite impressed. These can be ordered with any recipe you have, can even be scanned from an original handwritten recipe if legible enough. Contact us for details or pop over to the Christchurch Christmas fair on Friday. 5-9pm
