Disability Woodworking, Furniture Making and Content Creating.
Located In Formby, Liverpool
Welcome to Hand-i-Craft
Hello, my name is Leo and welcome to my website.
In May, 2018 I was involved in a car crash that left me with ‘life changing’ injuries. I lost the use of my dominant right arm and hand, suffered a subsequent breakdown in my mental health and now live with chronic neuropathic pain in my right shoulder and side.
I took up woodworking as I wanted to learn a new skill and prove to myself that I wasn’t worthless and useless like my demons kept telling me. Learning woodwork one handed is a huge challenge, but something that I have embraced and love.
I decided to document this journey on YouTube and as a result, Hand-i-Craft was born.
About Us. . .
Starting out in a rather leaky single garage, I’ve now moved into my ‘hand’ built workshop here in Formby, Liverpool. I make bespoke furniture tailor made to my customers requirements. Ranging from a simple candle holder to kitchen accessories to household furniture to outdoor and garden furniture.
If you have an idea in mind then I’m happy to discuss it with you.
I like to work with reclaimed materials in addition to a wide variety of wood species and also epoxy resin.
