About Johnny the scavenger

Johnny the scavenger

I make stuff

I like making things, and I want to live in Middle Earth, or Narnia, somewhere like that anyway. I have a thing for things ancient and rustic.
I started making jewellery when I made a silver cuff for my wife, pleased with result I started making other pieces from copper(we had some old pipe lying around) and it just continued from there.
The book binding came about after a chat with my daughter, I started by just covering a shop bought book, but that didn't satisfy, so I taught myself casebinding, then medieval binding, combining it with the techniques I had used with the copper jewellery to create journals and notebooks the could happily find a place on Bilbo Baggins bookshelf.
Most things I make are created from repurposed items, old pipe, wire, bookcovers and leather jackets destined for the bin.
My shed is my workshop, cluttered with tools and homemade bookpresses, half finished stuff and my son's cosplay projects(he seems to think I can make anything).
