About

My name is Bil Bas and I am a designer and maker of interesting things, in the city of Lancaster, in the North-West of England. By profession, I am a software developer, but this is an engaging side-project for me!

Utilising a CNC router, 3D-printer and a laser-engraver, the plan is to make innovative, quality items which use sustainable or recycled materials.

Most things that are manufactured are designed by myself, but some use models with licenses giving permission to make and sell the items.

Slithy Tove?

From Alice Through the Looking Glass, we discover that a tove is a creature that is “part badger, part lizard and part corkscrew. It nests under sundials and eats cheese” and that slithy is a portmanteau of “lithe and slimy”.
