Two brothers. One shop. Built from a lifetime of engineering.
We grew up in the custom car industry. Our dad, Mark, has spent 30 years building and selling kit cars — the kind of projects where "DIY" doesn't mean an afternoon project, it means months in a garage, a torque wrench, and a stubborn refusal to give up.
Kit cars are about as hard as DIY gets. Every part depends on a dozen suppliers and a hundred small decisions. We got very good at it. But somewhere along the way, we started wondering what it would look like to take everything we'd learned — the precision, the engineering, the obsession with doing it right — and put it into something simpler. Something we could perfect and repeat, every single time.
That's how the table legs started. We built a set for ourselves. Then for a few friends. People kept asking where they came from — which told us something. Most table legs on the market are steel, clunky, and honestly kind of ugly — the kind of base that fights with a beautiful wood top instead of complementing it. We figured we could do better.
So that's what we make now: a small lineup of aluminum table legs, designed the way we'd design anything else in the shop — with real engineering behind the shape, automotive-grade materials, and a finish that looks as good as the top you put on it.
Every leg that leaves our shop gets the same standard we held ourselves to when a mistake meant a car that wouldn't drive — because we still believe the best part of building something yourself is holding the finished thing in your hands and knowing you made it happen.
That's the whole idea behind Smyth Concepts — give makers the parts and the price point to build something beautiful, without the years it took us to learn how.
