Tulip spindles 41mm x 1100mm. These spindles were not turned on a lathe, but cut on our spindle moulder on each side by hand. It was time consuming, but they have come out looking nice with 520mm of turning. Nichols Bros ❤️ #spindles #spindleslondon #madebyhand #woodturning #

The customer liked our standard CT spindle, but wanted it tweaked slightly from 35mm to 31mm and an extra 20mm of turning at each end, so that is exactly what he got! Nichols Bros ❤️ #stock #bespoke #madetomeasure #woodturning

After storm Darragh broke our long established sign we have finally replaced it. We even upgraded the old 01 telephone number to our new 0208 one ! We need some rain now to weather it in as it looks far too clean and tidy compared to the rest of the frontage!

It’s only easy if you know how! Geoff rarely uses callipers or measuring guides, he looks at the pattern and works to what he thinks is the same size / depth. 55 years of experience helps, but this is how he was taught.

Today is a big day for Nichols Bros ! Following in the footsteps of his grandad Stanley and father Geoff, Craig has decided to join the family business, becoming the third generation of woodturner here at Nichols Bros. For the last fourteen years Craig has had a successful career as an equity trader on the London stock market, but his new journey begins now, hopefully keeping the lathes turning for many years to come. We celebrate our 75th year of buisness this year and our new recruit makes it even more exciting! Family always.
