Most of my working life I have been involved in engineering and wood has been a hobby. In the early 1980's I started an engineering company manufacturing high speed steel rolling machines, but I have always had a home workshop. Working with hand tools and real wood gives something of a satisfaction that engineering never did and making something that feels good to touch always has a special appeal to it.Maybe it's an age thing but at some point I decided a happy life would be better achieved doing something I love doing, so the decision was made to turn a serious hobby into a new career.I studied Cabinet Making and furniture design at UCLAN under the experienced eye of Gary Wilson himself a talented cabinet maker and tutor.
Based in the village of Cam, Gloucestershire, Cabinet Maker David Ian Smith designs and builds handmade bespoke furniture to your individual requirements, tables, chairs, book cases, display cabinets, dining tables, or storage units. Designer Maker David Smith works generally in wood but other materials such as glass and metal are often incorporated into the furniture. Each piece of bespoke furniture is handmade and attention to detail is paramount.
