A Multi-Machine Powerhouse Under One Roof

By Martin on Thu, 06/08/2026 - 19:16


A Multi-Machine Powerhouse Under One Roof


​Step through our doors and you won't find a typical high street shop—you’ll discover a sprawling 1200-square-foot hidden foundry of skills and options.
​When you look inside our repair room, you are looking at a living museum of craftsmanship. Some of these machines are cast iron giants that I have been keeping alive for over three decades using my deep shoe repair knowledge. These are old, heavy-duty machines I have personally collected and restored over the years. They are my heritage, and I feel a deep sense of duty to keep these mechanical giants alive just as much as I do the traditional, old-school handcraft of cobbling.
​Step just beyond into our dedicated engraving and customising room, and you’ll find that vintage soul meeting the pinnacle of modern technology. Here, our new 30W MOPA Fibre Laser joins an elite arsenal built to handle virtually any material and project imaginable:
​Our powerful CO2 Laser: Perfect for custom cutting, etching, and detailing across non-metals like wood, leather, acrylic, and fabrics, ideal for custom designs on the sole of your shoes and customising leather goods like wallets.
​Gravograph IS200 & MG40: Industry powerhouses for rotary engraving, deep-relief material removal, and professional industrial plates, perfect for customising special gifts like 25th wedding anniversary.
​U-Marq X5: Computer-controlled rotary and dot-peen engraving tailored for trophies, gifts, and cylindrical items like pens and trophies
​Diamond Tip & Glass Etching Gear: The classic touch for delicate glassware, trophies, watch backs, and pet tags.
​Cricut & 2D Printing Setups: The ultimate finishing tools for multi-media graphics, decals, and transfers.​
