Woodworking Crafts - Keeper of secrets

Duncan Lyall

Giugno 2018

Eight months into the first year of my City & Guilds course at Kendal College, and with all digits intact, I was fi nally given free rein to produce my fi rst design-andmake project. Commissions being a bit thin on the ground, I wanted to make something for myself that was practical and, being short of space, decided on a three-drawer chest – a project that would incorporate all my recently acquired skills. Having been impressed by the design philosophy of the Arts & Crafts movement, I hoped to produce an honest piece of simple line, while incorporating a few ideas of my own.
