Opened in 1990 by Peter Davies and Ruth Jenkins, The Dovetail Joint started as a small, dark workshop along the South Circular in Forest Hill. Six years later, having outgrown the space, the business moved into new modern premises. Staying within Forest Hill, our workshop is light and airy with ample space for modern machinery and dust extraction.
In 1998 the original partnership became incorporated as a limited company, with owners Peter and Ruth continuing to run and own the business.
