New Thicknesser

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

our old thicknesser has started to make random divots and chunks out of the lengths. we have tried to get repairs to fix it, but alas its not possible.

we’ve had it at this factory for 24 years, about 5 years in the previous site on rosburg road we rented, and how ever long the previous joinery had it – its been a great and long lasting workhorse.

but times wear out all things, so we get to move to the space age with our new modern one. after the easter break we will set it up in the factory.

have a nice easter break to all.

Arched meranti double doors

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

We were sent to McLaren Vale for this job. Insurance. A flash flood had swept down the cellar and destroyed the existing doors. We made new ones, and new doorframe jambs. Installed using the existing arched doorframe head, and a few tweaks on the curves on the doors we had made at our factory.

Window to Sliding door conversion.

Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progress

We headed out an hours drive from Adelaide for this job. We removed 4 sections of a window frame (1 awning and 3 fixed panels).

added cowdroy top hung track systems on the inside and outside of the frame. Prior to coming out we had made a pair of doors and a pair of flydoors (in meranti to match).

added flydoors to external track and glass doors to internal tracking. Added rubber seals around doorstop of the glass doors for good weathersealing. Glass doors were double glazed.

this is the original window frame we were working on.
