About Doug — Furniture Maker & Metal Fabricator
I’m Doug, the maker behind DT Furniture & Fabrication. I build bespoke hardwood furniture, welded steel frames, and custom fabrication projects from my workshop in Norfolk. What started as a few small builds for friends and family quickly grew into a full‑time craft — and a business built on precision, creativity, and problem‑solving.
From Events & Props to Precision Fabrication
Before launching DT Furniture & Fabrication, I spent years designing and building props, bars, and custom installations for events across the UK. That experience taught me how to work fast, think creatively, and engineer solutions that are both strong and visually striking.
Those skills naturally evolved into furniture making and metal fabrication — combining hardwood, steel, and modern industrial design.
What I Build
I specialise in:
Bespoke hardwood furniture
Welded steel table frames
Custom shelving and storage
Chainsaw‑milled slabs and beams
One‑off fabrication projects
Creative commissions and problem‑solving builds
Every piece is made to order, built by hand, and designed to last.
Whether you have a clear idea or just a rough sketch, I guide you through the full process:
Concept — You tell me what you need
Design — CAD drawings and measurements
Fabrication — Hardwood, steel, milling, welding
Finishing — Sanding, oiling, powder‑coating
Delivery — Norfolk, Norwich, and nationwide
I keep communication simple, clear, and honest — no jargon, no upselling, just good craftsmanship.
