Part-time Woodworking Specialist

Main Duties

Hi!  We are a children’s toy and media start-up aiming to produce the market’s first designer connecting wooden toys.  An example can be seen on the picture in our ad/profile.

We’d like to emphasis that the animals we feature are critically endangered, to promote conservation.  We’re committed to donating a portion of our profits, after we break even, to NGOs working in conservation.

We’re looking for someone with access to a woodworking facility to help us prototype our designs.

Your duties would mainly be to:

  • Receive and make prototype of the designs sent to you (and as part of this, order/procure wood, and/or work with a CNC engineer)
  • Provide feedback on how to make the shapes or design more efficient and therefore cost-effective for manufacturing

Skills and Experience Required

You’d need to:-

  1. Be fluent in 3D modeling software including Rhino, Fusion 360, etc. and to be able to read STEP, CAD files and the like.
  2. Have access to a workshop.  We’re happy to consider paying a part of your membership/access fees.  We’ll of course pay for the wood!
  3. Be well versed with woodworking, familiar with the nature of wood, etc.
  4. Be resourceful, to think out of the box (at times) and creative to solve the little roadbumps which come our/your way.

We’re hoping for someone who really loves woodworking, and is enthusiastic about creating the best, most elegant, wooden toys around.
