BlackCat Workshop Unique wooden products. Please view posts for info, items made, contact details etc. Most products are made to order, lead times not long!! See posts on page.

Sid's Workshop is a small woodworking business based near Stamford Bridge, York. Run by Neil 'Sid' Porteus, using over 30 years experience of making most things wooden! The business has/is changing direction due to Covid 19 issues. Mainly specialising in smaller outdoor woodwork that can be made in my workshop. I'm NOT a stockist, items are mainly made to order. Unique Planters & Garden Seats
Other Projects/Items will always be considered but I have limited tools so unfortunately some jobs can't be taken on.

If you're looking for gift buying options for this year that doesn't involve lining the pockets of greedy billionaires from continents far away or paying far too much at the same old boring places where everyone else shops! 😁 perhaps try something different?
I can offer you uniqueness, reclaimed timber and value - my prices start from just £1! 💕

Open 9am-3.30pm Mon-Fri, I can also be open 6-7.30pm BY APPOINTMENT if evenings are easier for you. You're welcome to just come and look around to get some ideas, no obligation at all! (You'll probably be offered a freebie though!)
If you're out of range for a visit I can now offer postage for my smaller items. Any enquiries please message me, or the old fashioned phone call!
I try to keep most things in stock but please check with me just in case.

2025 Reindeers!
Prices for these will be £40, they are 30" long and 3' tall.
Green tanalised 6by1's are used - which is for outdoor use only, ps they're nothing like the old log ones!
Neck tinsel included but otherwise decorate them as you please!
Please order them via Messenger, if you just turn up for one you'll probably be unlucky! + you'll need to be able to collect from YO41 1AP, unless you're very nearby for delivery.

Please feel free to come and see these in the flesh first if you're interested, no obligation!

Lovely pic sent in of three plant pot stands I made recently to replace some that the customers had bought in good faith off an online supplier but turned out to be wafer thin concertina-ry things!

Nice peaceful Sunday, marathon day so no chance of folks coming in (bit like a normal Sunday then! 🤣 🤷‍♂️)
Did plan on doing some shop organising but the mind wandered and next thing I was turning an old board into some scrapwood wren ornaments! 😍
Maybe nearly a year since I last did some? good refresher course to remember how!

I found a lovely old bit of wood hiding in my stash with a purple tinge to it so of course purple hedgehog pen holders were the first thing to pop in my head!
