  Before returning to Ireland I had taken a conscious decision to take time out in order to pursue personal achievements and life-time goals. I wished to return to the family roots to rekindle the bespoke cabinet maker skills that I still have an enormous passion for. Here are some of the activities I got up to:• Camper conversion. Carried out about 90% of the work myself and picked up some great new skills on this project. (see picture)• Travel throughout Europe. Met amazing people and visited some of the most wonderful places. I even got to discover how beautiful Ireland is. • Designed and manufactured premium high quality furniture pieces. (see pictures) • A total update of my carpentry and cabinet making skills • Attended exhibitions and seminars to keep my finger on the industry pulse • Recorded music that I'd composed over the past five years• Signed up for coffee / barista course
