My hobby started about 1997 before my eldest daughter was born.

It started out of frustration in trying to find "blokey" stuff for the house and having no luck.

I started it by making Keyring holders after one of my customers ( I was sell ing FB and EK Holden parts at the time) saw one I made of a EH sedan sitting in a paddock.

I still have this and it hangs on the wall in my lounge room.

I was asked if I could make one for a bloke who owned a EK sedan and he asked if I could make him one in good nick and and larger version ( the one I first made was only painted in the corner of the Keyring holder ) for him.

Since then, I have made many for friends, family and customers while selling car parts and after the Keyring holders I started making Plaques, Door Stops, Displays, Dragstrip Displays and have now moved on to other items.

I now make 3D Keyring holders, Paling Plaques ( made from old fence palings ) , Painted Paling Plaques, Long Stained Plaques, Long Stained Plaques, Limited Edition Framed Paintings, Painted Cutouts, Signs Of The TimesĀ  ( painted and shaped signs on recycled pine ) and my latest design "if it's made of steel, it's the real deal".

I always strive to make car related items that make people happy and make no money doing so.

I'm not in it for money, just the love of old cars.
