Trend CNC Series
I’ve partnered with Trend to share my journey with their OneFinity CNC machines through a series of videos, starting as a complete CNC novice and learning how this technology can support the way I create new products, improve my workflow and grow Single Handedly Made.

Learning CNC with Trend Onefinity
After a big period of growth for the business, from the rebrand and my appearance on ITV’s Be Your Own Boss, through to the launch of the new website and online shop, I decided it was time to make a serious investment in the workshop.
The Trend OneFinity Elite Journeyman is a machine I have bought and paid for myself. I’ve worked with Trend for several years, and they kindly supported me with a discount, installation and training to help me get started, but I’m not being paid or sponsored to make these videos.
This series is my honest experience of bringing CNC into the workshop for the first time.

I’m documenting my CNC journey on YouTube, learning everything from scratch and showing how the OneFinity machine can realistically fit into my workshop and the way I run Single Handedly Made.
Why CNC?
Having one usable hand means certain workshop tasks naturally take longer, require more setup, or need a different approach entirely. As the business grows, I’m always looking for ways to improve my workflow without losing the hands-on craft behind the work.
That’s one of the main reasons I decided to invest in CNC.
A CNC machine can help with the repetitive, accurate and time-consuming parts of the making process. It can cut consistent shapes, prepare components, support chopping board production and help with tasks that would otherwise take me much longer to complete by hand.
In practical terms, it can work almost like another pair of hands in the workshop.
While the machine is cutting, I can be sanding boards, glueing components, preparing materials, working on finishes, packing orders or developing the next idea. It gives me another way to keep the workshop moving, while still keeping the care, judgement and finishing firmly in my hands.
