As featured on Holly Tucker’s ‘Be Your Own Boss’ programme on ITV, Single Handedly Made began as a way to prove to himself that he wasn’t broken after Leo suffered life-changing injuries after a car crash.
What started as a hobby to support his mental and physical rehabilitation, it has grown into a full time business making bespoke woodworking items for the home and kitchen, literally single handed!
Chosen from sustainable and ethically sourced wood species, each handmade item is crafted to the highest of standards with a keen eye for detail to bring the best out of the wood grain patterns. His custom boards are built to last a lifetime!
Each piece is a reminder that ability isn’t defined by limitation, but by persistence.

The story behind the business
Meet Single Handedly Made
In May 2018, my life changed forever. I was involved in a car crash that left me with life-altering injuries. I lost the use of my dominant right arm and hand and now live with chronic pain in my shoulder and side. For a long time, I struggled with my mental health and a constant battle with self-worth.
Woodworking began as a way to prove to myself that I wasn’t broken. Learning to craft with one hand was a challenge I wasn’t sure I could meet, but it became a source of focus, pride, and healing. Each piece reminded me that ability isn’t defined by limitation, but by persistence.
What started as a personal journey soon became something more. I began sharing my progress on YouTube, documenting my one-handed approach to woodworking, and the response was overwhelming. That journey became Single Handedly Made.
I began in a leaky garage, figuring things out one project at a time. Today, I work from my hand-built workshop in Formby, creating bespoke furniture and homeware from reclaimed materials, hardwoods, and epoxy resin.
Every piece tells its own story, just like the hand that made it.
