The Salvage Sister Bottle cutting kit has everything you need to cut glass bottles safely and efficiently every single time. If you've ever tried cutting glass bottles you'll know that it isn't easy without the proper equipment. Let me take the stress out of cutting glass bottles with this handy little kit that is super easy to use and can accommodate a massive range of bottle shapes and sizes - you can even choose where on the bottle you would like to cut it. The kit comes in it's own tidy little cardboard box with full downloadable instructions on how to use it, make sure you watch my video to see how easy it really is. Click here for the VIDEO LINK Once you have scored a line around your bottle where you would like to cut it, simply use boiling water and very cold water to fracture along your score line. Now you can make a lamp & have a glass to drink out of from that old 'useless' glass bottle! What's in the kit? - The glass cutter metal base - fence (the moveable arm that supports your bottle while you score it) - three moveable wheels that attach to the base & support the bottle to aid neat turning - glass scorer that is attached to the base. - a separate glass drill bit for drilling holes in glass bottles. - 4 rubber rings that support the glass either side of the cut and act as a ravine for the water - A pair of gloves to protect your hands while cutting glass - A bottle cleaner - Rough sandpaper for grinding sharp edges after cutting. - Instructions download - and don't forget to watch our video - Comes in its own handy little box & makes a great gift Our kit is useable on a wide range of bottles wherever you want to cut them as all the parts which attach to the base can be moved to many configurations for a variety of cuts. Have hours of fun making drinking glasses from old bottles, candle holders, lamps - and many more fantastic upcycling projects - the fun starts here! Safety glasses should be worn at all times when using this kit to cut or drill glass. The kit is designed to be used by a competent adult.

I've lost count of the amount of times people have asked me about lamp parts because they have had problems with cheap parts they have bought which don't match each other or don't work properly, and of course most importantly - how to make a lamp safely. Why not gift this kit? Last minute presents have never been so creative! Your main concerns when making a lamp are safety & aesthetics - if you are making the effort to create a lamp, rather than buy it then you want it to look the business so you can show it off, you also have to make sure it's safe. These points were my priority when designing this kit & why I created it for you. If you've ever tried making a lamp you will know there are various items you need to source for your lamp to work correctly and safely - and they all have to match! The Salvage Sister takes all the uncertainty out of buying lamp parts - she has spent a great deal of time perfecting all the parts in this kit, including the detailed step by step instructions so you can concentrate on making beautiful, safe lamps not getting very frustrated & giving up! With quality British Standard 163 metal lamp fittings in an array of different colours to choose from, your upcycled lamp will look the business, be safe & easy to make - the parts you use play a massive part in this. Use quality parts & do it right first time.

We also have a bottle lamp kit, Pendant light kit and Pendant bottle kit launching shortly - join the mailing list so you don't miss it! Read my full Terms and Conditions by clicking here Inspiration After being asked repeatedly over the years how to make a lamp safely I decided I had to source all the parts you need to make an awesome lamp and create an instruction manual because there were too many people to help with only one set of hands! Technical specification All parts are made to British Standard 163 and are made with 3 cores for UK mains electricity - meaning they are earthed. When using metal lamp parts you must use a flex with three cores to avoid electric shock.

Come to Brighton for a Workshop with a difference,
This workshop is Freestyle!
You bring your own item, or idea to work on during this 6 hour Freestyle Workshop class. Because this class is Freestyle it has a maximum number of 4 students at a time - most other classes have 6 or more. You'll all be working on different projects and I want to be available to give you the focus, advise & know-how you deserve! You can bring your own item to upcycle, or find wood at MidSussex wood Recycling for your masterpiece - which you can pick out at the time with the advice of the Salvage Sister. This workshop is totally different from any of my other classes - it is all about you & your ideas, concepts and designs. It is the perfect follow-on class if you really enjoyed Pallet Furniture & now want to further your knowledge & skills.Q - How is your Freestyle Workshop different to the Pallet Furniture Workshop?
A - FREEDOM!! Unlike my Pallet Furniture Workshop , you are not restricted to using pallets & pallet wood for your build - you can literally find what you like & build with it. (In this class we don't focus on methods of dismantling, reconfiguring & making with pallets.) We start the class by learning to use the general tools that you will all use during the day, before each of you focus on on the tools and processes that apply to your own build. The MidSussex timber yard is absolutely full of interesting things, from scaffold boards, joists, doors, floorboards, planks, blocks, ply - you name it. It's all reclaimed, it's all waiting to be reused & start a new life with you! (If you would like to peruse the timber yard before your class - the site is open for customers Sunday to Friday, find all the details about MidSussex Wood recycling by clicking here. Please be aware that if you intend to use a great deal of material, or one is expensive/rare - there may be a materials surcharge. We can go through options and work this out for you if you have an idea of what you want to make, what material you want to use & the approximate size of the project. ) This class is great for making scaffold board benches, small tables etc, small shelving units etc. You could even make some kitchen cupboard doors, or a Wooden A board for your business - the options are endless. Bear in mind however, we have 6 hours - so for larger, or more complex projects you may need more than one session - I can offer discounts for multiple Freestyle classes for the same person. More details as we release new dates, contact me here with your requirements. When you book the class simply email me your idea, I will advise you in the lead up to the class of what you might need to bring & the tools & equipment I can bring for use during the class. Please note that because the workshop is full of wood, it is not compatible with processes that require fire or very hot temperatures like welding or forging - this class is mainly for upcycling and woodwork projects. (Although I will be running metalwork & forging classes soon!) If you are unsure of whether your project is right for the class feel free to contact me via the 'Get in touch' tab. PLEASE do not book this class to do something that is already listed as a complete workshop in my store, this workshop is for unique things that you cannot find in my other workshop classes. Why not check out our amazing 5 star TRipAdvisor reviews for all our workshops?

I designed this heavy duty pallet deconstruction tool, to break any pallet in minutes - no matter the width of the slats or how big and tough it is! It is strong, robust and guaranteed to break & pull apart pallets in minutes. I have used many methods in the past to deconstruct pallets, from using two small pry bars to a reciprocating saw. This is by far the most time efficient, economic and effective method to deconstruct pallets without splitting the wood or breaking your back! You can deconstruct a pallet in a minute, as opposed to half a day & it is far more economical in price than buying a reciprocating saw. (Plus, you don't power, or batteries!) My pallet buster is made of steel, the parts are precisely made and TIG welded together. See the Product data tabs & images below for more info, and choose your selection for paint colour or no-paint. Please Note - Mild Steel must be painted or sealed to protect from moisture which causes rust on the surface & can attack & weaken welds. If you select 'no paint' you must paint the pallet puller with a metal paint with exterior metal paint to prevent rust ASAP. Have you thought about joining one of my Pallet Furniture workshops? Sounds like it might be up your street -

When you feel confident you can practice cutting, drilling and sanding wood with electric saws, drills and sanders. The Salvage Sister is a pro and teach you everything you need to know about power tools so you can start growing your collection of useful items and become a savvy DIYer in your own home.

Learn the skills needed to deconstruct pallets,
before making your own pallet planter & taking it home on the day!
The Salvage Sister taught Kirsty Allsopp how to make this pallet planter on stage in front of 200 people at The Handmade Fair - if she can do it, so can you! During this 5 hour Pallet Planter Workshop you will learn the skills needed to create your very own colourful pallet planter, including where to look for pallets, which ones work best, and how to take apart pallets and cut down ready to reconfigure into a beautiful solid wood planter. The Salvage Sister will guide you through the build, teaching you how to use all the power tools involved and what lasting fixings to use in the garden environment. When you've built your own pallet planter you will have the option to make it into a strawberry trough and leave some gaps in the sides for the strawberries to hang through, or fill the sides with pallet planks. (You can line your planter with a hessian sack when you get home to stop earth falling through the gaps until the roots of your bounty hold it all together) Once you’ve learnt these skills you will be able to repeat this process at home to make as many troughs & planters as you like in the future - saving you loads of cash, not to mention time & stress!New Dates for all Workshops coming soon,

Steel magnetic picture frame - standalone photo frame What is it A very simple industrial style photo frame, simply print off your family photos onto glossy paper and secure them to your lacquered steel frame with the magnets provided - a super quick and stylish way to display your favourite photos. Work best with square photos. Inspiration The aim for this piece is ‘sleek, simplistic industrial design'. Photo frames are something we all have, yet far too often instead of letting the image stand out they appear cluttered and heavy, dominating the view. This frame is made from a sheet of steel, formed to the perfect viewing angle before the finish is applied and lacquered for longevity. -
Coat & hat hook - A single handmade bright steel coat with salvaged golf ball hat holder! It's quirky, colourful & sustainable, made from a simple, continuous piece of 6mm steel rod formed into a hook & mounted on flat bright steel plate. Add the golf ball or mini pool ball of your choice. Comes with industrial style screws, wall plugs & ball colour of your choosing. Inspiration Who doesn't need a hook in their life? I could do with loads of them, which is exactly what started me on this hook extravaganza! Nothing is worse than everyone dumping their winter coats, bags and hats over every available surface! That said, just because this is a functional item that doesn't mean it has to be boring, anything but! I spent some time experimenting with steel round bar and creating lots of hook shapes, I really like the continuous line of this hook & it's optimistic dart to the sky. You can hang coats by their integrated hanging loop on the lower bend & the golf ball is a fantastic place for your hat or hooded attire. The texture of the golf balls looks great against the shiny steel & adds a splash of colour. I'm really pleased these lost balls a new lease of life and diverting them from landfill. Inspired by Eames.Gift cards also available which can be bought and emailed at any time including holidays - last minute presents have never been so thoughtful!

When bicycles & industrial style float ya boat, you can't get much better than my B-Spoke shelf brackets. They're made from real push bike salvage, after being meticulously cleaned, cut and reconfigured. Some said I was nuts when I wanted to turn push bikes into shelf brackets... it's upcycling like you've never seen before!Inspiration
The aim for this piece was to create something absolutely unique and beautiful from all the old bike parts I have collected. I really wanted to make a feature of the gears and spokes as they're really pretty & beautifully formed if you really look. Shelf brackets are something every home needs to get clutter up & our of the way, but there's no reason for them to be boring! These B-spoke brackets are the most fiddly and time consuming of all my brackets. Each one of those little gears and spokes has to be welded in position, only problem is the spokes like to vaporise if you don't watch it! Welds are hidden wherever possible & sandwiched between the two gear stacks. Price is per pair of brackets - scroll down for the images & product data tabs. Have you thought about gifting this handmade product? -

Yup, that's right it's a real cricket helmet handmade into a beautiful industrial style table lamp - perfect for sport enthusiasts & any sustainable home. I first came up this idea for Kirstie Allsop's 'Fill Your House for Free' S1. The homeowner had lots of old cricket equipment, I was asked to create a feature for the lounge which would look classy & expensive. I came up with my first lamp made from a cricket helmet, I have since made many of these for Cricket fans all over the world. The lamp has a gold interior to reflect the ambient glow of the low energy vintage style LED blub which comes free with this purchase. The exterior finish is hammered black with gold specks which gives it the appearance of metal. The light fitting and other fixtures are high quality CE approved components. When you purchase a cricket helmet lamp The Salvage Sister gets to work finding one to reclaim and repurpose for you. Then all the interior padding and fixings are removed before it is sanded, spray painted and lacquered for resilience. This process can take some time due to the drying times of the paint & lacquer drying times. Once the paint job is complete the cage is put back on and the lamp fitting and wiring is completed ready for packaging and shipping to your door fully insured & tracked. This item will arrive within 4 weeks of ordering - I'll update you during the process. Last orders for Christmas - 1st December 2020 Why not try and make your own lamp at one of my lamp making classes or purchase one of my lamp making kits with downloadable instructions. You can now purchase gift cards for the amount of your choosing which the receiver can put towards any Salvage Sister product or workshop!
