The Profiler+® Story
Gary and his Dad
I didn’t set out to invent something!
The Profiler+ was sparked by a particular scribing project that I happened to be working on. I knew that there had to be a way of making scribing easier, faster and accurate.
Back in 1995, when installing a bespoke kitchen into an old stone barn, I faced a particularly tricky scribing task when it came to the in fill panel between the cabinet and the exposed stone wall.
Finding a block of wood, cutting it to the correct scribe width, holding the material, the block and the pencil needed the two of us to get the job done.
At that moment, I visualised a scribing tool, went home and drew out the rudimentary prototype. It was so clear in my mind—a lightbulb moment!
- Without exception, it needed to be one handed.
- The pencil needed to be in line with point of contact with the wall.
- Adjustable to hold most pencils or markers.
- Adjustable to the width of the scribe required.
After a series of prototypes and iterations (and scouring the country to find the best possible team to build the product here in the UK), Profiler+, The Ultimate Scribing Tool, was born.
The design and functionality of the Profiler+ that you see today is a result of these principles.
The Profiler+ is now sold globally and I never fail to be amazed by the range of scenarios of where it is used.
From the more traditional bespoke carpentry and decking to the more obscure, in skateparks and Yurts. From the UK to New Zealand, across Europe and beyond.
And today? Well, I continue to do what I love—designing and installing fitted furniture.
The Profiler+ is an essential part of my tool set up and I am always delighted to see that it is now in the hands of fellow professional tradespeople.
The future?
Profiler+ continues to grow as more tradespeople discover the tool and the family business tradition of creating bespoke fitted cabinetry continues.
