For our debut Make Your Bones film we check in with Paul Firbank, AKA ‘The Rag & Bone Man’. Paul spends his days locked deep in his man cave creating beautiful objects from the dregs of East London’s scrappers.
He sorts and sifts through the scrap yards, railway arch grease shops and the thrift markets finding the remains of vintage engineered machinery and outmoded modern metal parts that make up scraps of British industrial history. Paul assembles these shiny unwanted fragments into new playful designs. Restoring, welding, turning, stripping, polishing and lacquering he develops each piece responding to the materials he has found.
