Pang Designs HQ

Beginning of new term and new design studio! It's been the first couple of weeks now into my MA Product Design and already it's looking to be great. Having settled somewhat into the new MA design studio, there is quite a lot going on already with our brief for our first project. Also, on the side of this, I am constructing my own studio/workshop for myself. Extremely exciting! This will be HQ for most of my personal work to be invested into starting up my own business.

Having the ability to freely experiment and prototype designs is essential and which I feel is extremely limited in the last few years. Joinery skills and processes seemed like it was common knowledge and no access to a thickness planer, table saw and router seemed extremely counter productive. I only very recently discovered these three 'essential' machinery. Having been inspired greatly by Matthias Wandel's youtube channel and learning the uses of these machines, it's a wonder how I managed any type of woodworking in my final year. Sadly, I admit resorted to doing everything on the band saw and CNC router, as that is all I really had at my disposal.

So up and coming into the near coming future, there will be a new website and new blog! Here I will be sharing with everyone Pang Designs. Also, here are some photos to show the progress made. It's still a long ways to go yet.
