Work with Tim

Work with Tim

Honest kit, put to honest work.

A real bench. A straight answer.

Tim's an ex-paratrooper who builds things by hand in his own workshop, at his own pace. No studio, no script, no flat-pack. Just oak, sharp edges and a camera on a tripod.

If you make tools, sell timber, mix finishes or build kit for people who work with their hands, Tim would like to hear from you. He'll put your gear to proper use on real builds, in front of people who care about doing things right.

And if you'd simply like something made, or want to tell his story, that's welcome too.

Ways to work with Tim

  • SponsorshipBack a video series, or the channel itself, and get your name on the bench.
  • Product featuresSend Tim your tool, finish or kit. He'll use it on a real build and tell people what he thinks.
  • Tools & timberHelp keep the workshop stocked, from boards and blanks to blades and abrasives.
  • CommissionsA one-off piece made by hand, for your home, your business or a gift.
  • Media & interviewsFeatures, podcasts and articles about a stubborn old para who won't stop making things.
  • Something elseGot an idea that doesn't fit a box? Tell him anyway.

What Tim promises

  • An honest opinion. If something isn't up to the job, he'll tell you privately and won't feature it.
  • Paid features and gifted kit are always clearly labelled as ads, every time.
  • Real use, not unboxing. Your kit earns its place on the bench before it earns a mention.
  • A straight reply. Tim, or someone helping him, gets back to every genuine enquiry.

Tell Tim what you have in mind

We only use your details to reply to you, plus workshop news if you tick the box. Never sold or shared.
