I welcome custom orders and commissions so if you have something you would like making, repurposing or restoring, get in touch and let’s talk about what we could achieve.

I was looking for a novel way of repurposing some old tools to be useful in the modern world. The idea hit me that phones are a major feature of life today, make something to hold a phone while it charges overnight, here is the result.

Full description

Taking the form of a figure holding their hands out in front of them, this quirky and unique figurine is made from old imperial sockets and spanners and mounted on a small, used, motorcycle sprocket. The patina on the old tools is left intact though they are clean. He is posed standing with hands held out ready to hold your phone while it charges or your notepad, pen etc. for you. For phones, the ‘grip’ works best if the phone is a bit thicker, in a case for example. The head is a ring spanner, the body is two large old three-quarter drive imperial sockets and the arms and legs are imperial spanners, all welded together and mounted on the sprocket which has pads attached underneath to protect your furniture. Check out my shop for a matching socket man table lamp!
