Meranti bifold with centor hardware
Work in progressJust preparing this bifold. Once we have it working, we will dismantle it all and the main perimeter frame will be packed up for transport. the builder will re-assemble on site like an IKEA pack
inside view, again final adjustments need to be made once installed and made square and not bowed in the head anywhere. doorstops are OFF on this photo.
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.
2024 a year ahead
Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progressWell, I was a bit remiss to leave our first post of the year until february… time flies.
We have meranti back in stock after a few short months, cedar still reliably sourced.
some of the things we have been up to lately;
Sliding Window
Work in progress
Happy monday to you all. We survived the heat wave (closed the factory a few times early last week). Here is a sliding window we are working on at the moment.
Factory Floor
UncategorizedTimber continues to be a supply issue. Hard if not possible to source long lengths of certain timbers. One supplier sent me a pack list of 7 small packs.
I ordered 5 of them and he replied saying 2 had been sold already. Blink and you miss it.
Wood glue supplier has been waiting on his orders since august 21. We have bought the last he has, and will need to use a level up in glue (increase in $$$) instead once our regular glue runs out.
Laminate glass from one of our main suppliers doubled about 2 weeks ago. others have jumped by at least 25%.
