Reclaimed material is processed, shaped and finished into new skateboard decks. Strips of filled dough are interwoven and baked into braided pastries; steel chassis receive insulated walls, utilities and fitted interiors to become construction trailers; and cast-metal bodies are machined and assembled with sliding jaws and screw mechanisms to make vises.

Plasma Gems, Special Effects Snow, Piano Restoration

Discarded glass is melted and reshaped into colourful decorative gems. Paper, polymers and other lightweight materials are processed into convincing artificial snow for film and television, while an ageing piano is dismantled so its case, soundboard, strings, keys and mechanical action can be repaired and restored.
