One of the biggest highlights for Kevin is being able to turn his clients idea into an exact replica of what they want and then see their reaction.  Kevin is and has always been an ideas man and finds that pattern making allows him to help others develop their own concepts while exploring his own creative side. 

He will create a full size or scale model using a combination of polystyrene, fibreglass, resins, wood, plastic or metal.  While doing this, he allows for the 'shrinkage' factor of whatever material will be used in the manufacture of the final product.  The model can then be tested, modified and fine tuned before a production tool is made.

From the model a mould is made using a combination of wood and resin.  The mould can consist of 2 or more pieces, depending on the complexity of the product.  The mould parts are duplicated in cast aluminium at the Heavy Metal Foundry and the castings are then polished, fitted, framed and clamped to suit the chosen manufacturers requirements.

Kevin is a visionary. He utilises an innovative and creative method of design - crafting a pattern straight from an idea without the use of CAD software. This results in a substantial cost saving for the client and they are able to see a 3D model that can be handled and tested, rather than viewing it on a screen. 

Kevin is a tactile designer and works personally with each client  to acheive the desired result and product. He is able to design for any project, from individual components through to complete systems and his manufacturing diversity produces sensational results.

Kevin's personal approach enables him to meet with clients to discuss the initial brief and he will then keep them informed every step of the way, from first concept through to the model.  This enables his clients to maintain a realistic and clear vision of the finished product through every stage of the process.
