Places to see in ( Axminster - UK )
Axminster is a market town and civil parish on the eastern border of the county of Devon in England, some 28 miles from the county town of Exeter. The town of Axminster is built on a hill overlooking the River Axe which heads towards the English Channel at Axmouth, and is in the East Devon local government district.
Axminster gave its name to a type of carpet. An Axminster-type power loom is capable of weaving high quality carpets with many varying colours and patterns. While Axminster carpets are made in the town by Axminster Carpets Ltd, this type of carpet is now manufactured all over the world.
Axminster railway station was opened on 19 July 1860, with the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) offering direct services between Central Station in Exeter and Yeovil. The station building was designed by the LSWR's architect Sir William Tite in mock gothic style. In 1903, the branch line from Axminster to Lyme Regis was opened. This branch line was closed with the Beeching cuts, in the 1960s. One engine has been preserved on the Bluebell Line, in Sussex, while the station was dismantled and reconstructed at New Alresford, on the Watercress Line, in Hampshire. Axminster is the southern starting point of the Taunton Stop Line, a World War II defensive line consisting of pillboxes and anti-tank obstacles, which runs north to the Somerset coast near Highbridge.
The hamlet of Abbey Gate lies to the south of the town near the A35 and A358 intersection. Other villages within 5 miles (8.0 km) of Axminster include Chardstock, Colyford, Combpyne, Dalwood, Hawkchurch, Kilmington, Membury, Musbury, Raymond's Hill, Rousdon, Shute, Smallridge, Tytherleigh, Uplyme and Whitford.

My Visit To Pecorama
On the 17/08/2019, the same day when me and my friends visited the Seaton Tramway, we also visited a model & miniature railway attraction called “Pecorama”, located in the village of Beer in East Devon. This video showcases the attraction by firstly showing its wide variety of model railway layouts, followed by a ride and runby shots of the steam train on the miniature railway.

Chris Thorpe talks about 3D print and recreating the UK manufacturing industry
More at wlvdigital.wordpress.com and diverseproject.wordpress.com
Chris Thorpe is a wily old campaigner. On his Thinking Digital 2013 speaker profile he described himself as a 'coder, craftsman and creative explorer'. Decide for yourself: he has a PhD in structural and molecular biology, was there coding at the beginning of the world wide web and has been responsible for projects as diverse as the first open access scientific journal, Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth, the UK government's digital service and the website for a James Bond Premiere.
'Been there done that' could be his CV. Not content with whipping out innovative web services he has now moved on to the much hyped world of 3D print and additive manufacturing (AM). Chris established The Flexiscale Company to fulfil his dream to build things people want. In Flexiscale's case it is kit form, scale 3D reproductions of Victorian and early twentieth century rail engines, actually reproduced at the scale that people want to buy them. That means in theory you could get a full-sized slate quarry engine in kit form. Imagine the postage.
Chris is a clever and thorough person with some interesting views on digital and manufacturing businesses in the UK. He believes for instance, as you will see in my interview with him at Thinking Digital above, that we need to pressure government into kickstarting the 3D/AM industry by funding 3D hubs in traditional heavy industry and skilled manufacturing areas like the north east of England. We need to start making things again.
You can only have so many web businesses, says Chris, only so much virtual product. He has tried his hand at digital construction so he knows what he is talking about. Chris' grandfather was an architect who instilled in him a fascination with making. It is time we looked at motivating a new wave of makers, he says, industrial designers and engineering hackers capable of creating innovative prototypes and products.
Movements like 'Maker Faire' pull in elements like Arduino boards, amateur electronics, robotics, 3D print, computing, crafts, synthetic biology and biobricks, to create one big maelstrom of what can loosely be called 'hacker culture'. Look at images for the Maker Faire 2013 in Newcastle ( or check out the Youtube videos (
It is people taking bits of science, art, technology and design to experiment with small scale manufacturing. Some of those things will become useful 'products' with a mass market. Most won't. That hardly matters because making is also about having fun. Check out the work of young designers like Luke Emmerson, Amy Nelson, James Dalton, Dustin Roxborough and Ryan Coupe: they are all taking current technologies and putting them together in creative and fun ways.
Chris Thorpe is having fun using ultra-expensive industrial scanners to produce his kits of steam engines. Train spotters and other rail buffs can have fun collecting them. Make no mistake, 3D and AM are serious technologies - there is a potentially worrying trend of US defence funding for hackerspaces - but we do need to get more people playing with them.

My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 22 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre and 4 years experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I still currently work on weekends. During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite 'Tool Duel' where I compare two cometitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best.
I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.
Lets go make a mess.
