Handmade Projects & Creative Builds
From campervan beds and pirate ship bunks to reclaimed timber builds and workshop experiments, this page showcases some of the larger and more ambitious projects created at Udny Designs.
Many of these builds began with rough sketches, recycled materials or slightly unusual ideas — and slowly evolved into unique handmade creations full of character and imagination.
Every project is a chance to experiment, solve problems creatively and build something memorable by hand.
Campervan Bed
This project was inspired by my son Jamie, who had been asking for a bunk bed for his room. As a lover of all things outdoors, he suggested we build a camper van bed instead!
Pirate Ship Bed
Built from MDF and planed pine, this pirate ship bed features a mast, wheel, anchor and raised platforms to create an imaginative and immersive bedroom adventure.
Fort Udny
Fort Udny, our play fort in the garden, was constructed using recycled timber, providing a fun and eco-friendly space for outdoor adventures and imaginative play.
Custom Kids Jeep
Built for adventure and years of enthusiastic driving, this handmade electric jeep was created for outdoor fun, workshop tinkering and plenty of garden exploration.
Toolbox Desk
Crafted from a reclaimed oak kitchen worktop and roller tool chests, this custom desk combines practical workspace storage with an industrial workshop style.
Megaden
Built entirely from reclaimed timber, the Megaden is a unique summer house and garden retreat designed for relaxing, creative projects and outdoor working.
