Resident Chip, the offcut collector
Cut Above Workshop
Cut Above Workshop is a pitched-roof repair shop with a sign over the door, a wide window full of daylight and tools hanging on the wall, ready to swing into their next job. It smells, you can imagine, of sawdust and good intentions.
Chip is the offcut collector. Chip builds tiny houses out of the pieces that everyone else left behind, and believes that nothing good is ever quite wasted. Chip will happily show you the pile and explain where each piece came from.
It is a practical, friendly corner for a page that makes things: a short list of what you build, a few photos of work in progress and a clear way to ask for something new.
