Eddie Vincent in his workshop in Hambledon, Hampshire, UK

about

Based from my workshop in Hambledon, Hampshire, I make metal furniture & bespoke items for clients across the UK.

For over 20 years I had been working in banking, sitting in front of 4 computer screens and commuting long hours to London. At the end of lockdown, out of curiosity, I went on a day-long welding course with a friend.  Thanks to ‘working from home’ I had time (with no commute) to be creative so I started making and selling firepits and furniture for friends & for my home.

Around then, I discovered Mac Industries, which is a UK company that makes top quality welding tables and tools. After investing in a fixture table, it became possible to make more accurate and professional-looking work. 

In 2021 I left the City and decided to do metalwork full time. 

I love the diversity of jobs and also the challenge of creating something for customers. 

I am grateful to the Instagram community of metal workers, makers & followers, who have been a huge source of help, inspiration & confidence building.
