Ten years a master.
One pair of hands.
The longer story behind Double Dipper: a workshop in Crossley Mills, run by Daniel Fitzpatrick, member of The Guild of Master Craftsmen since 2016.
The path
Three workshops, one bench.
From Pine by Design in 2000 to today.
- 1995
Apprenticeship
At seventeen, Daniel begins a three-year apprenticeship in wood turning and cabinet making under a reputable Yorkshire firm. Strong moral values, work ethic, true Yorkshire grit.
- 2000
Pine by Design
Opens his first workshop at Crossley Mills. The platform every later venture would grow from. Handmade kitchens and solid wood furniture, fitted to the inch.
- 2007
Spindles Wood Turning
Founds the sister workshop down the lane. Turned spindles, newel posts, table legs and bowls. Bespoke at heart, traditional in technique.
- 2014
Double Dipper
Adds the strip-and-dip workshop to the family of businesses. Pine doors, cast-iron fireplaces, Edwardian radiators. The things worth keeping, returned to the wood and metal beneath.
- 2016
Guild of Master Craftsmen
Accepted into The Guild after a rigorous entry process. References, inspections, a clear track record of skill, integrity and care.
- Today
Still at the bench
Ten years on, the standard hasn't changed. He still does every job himself. The booking, the strip, the sand, the finish, the phone call about the price.
