Season 1 in progress: building the lab
Commissions

Furniture and shop pieces, made to order.

Every piece in the lab is built to be used — at the right height, with joints that stay tight. The same pieces can be built for your home, office or shop.

How it works

From a sketch to your floor

  1. 01

    Tell us what you need

    The piece, the space it’s going into, rough sizes and a budget range. Photos and sketches help.

  2. 02

    Drawing & quote

    A dimensioned drawing and a fixed quote. Nothing is cut until you’ve signed off on both.

  3. 03

    Built in the lab

    Progress photos as it comes together. Many commissions are filmed for Mortise & Motor — only with your OK.

  4. 04

    Delivery or pickup

    Local delivery and install, or crated freight. Delivery area and any freight cost are set out in your quote.
