    Budget Post Caps

    Our stair post capitals are by far some of our best-selling and most popular items both due to their durability, and timeless designs. Up until recently we only stocked two styles, pyramid and scalloped, which are both quite ornamental; but minimalist design trends on the rise, we saw a need to begin stocking a more simplified, streamlined post capital- which we have dubbed the ‘budget post cap’. This paint-grade timber cap is both light on the wallet, and easy on the eyes-killing two birds with one stone.

    An Inventive Use for Dining Table Legs

    We love it when people find alternative uses for our products, especially when they’re as creative as this! While we sell a range of roof finials on our website, it seems that this Adelaide local preferred our furniture legs. If you don’t recognize it from afar, that’s our Turned Dining Table Leg (FL021R). We can’t help but wonder what this customer’s dining table looks like if he used the legs as a finial!

    While Victorian Ash seems is by far our best selling timber species due to its affordable price, durability, and sustainability, from time to time we are asked to replicate some of our products in American Oak. One such example of this is the tapered American Oak leg we made for a local furniture manufacturer.

    We're Open - COVID-19 Update

    We’d like to take a moment to assure all of our valued customers and suppliers that Hammersmith is still open, and fully operational. Local and interstate deliveries are still occurring, with the closure of borders not affecting the movement of freight. Our Brompton store/factory also remains open to walk in customers, although we advise that customers follow social distancing guidelines wherever possible by keeping 1.5m between themselves and other customers/staff and making use of the hand sanitizer made available to them at the reception counter.

    Unique Galvanised Fitting Applications

    One of the best things about our galvanised fittings is just how versatile they are. While certainly most of our customers will use them to build handrailing and balustrades, we’ve also seen them used in some specialised, odd jobs. Here, galvanised base plates have been used build a bench in a service station… but more and more lately we’ve also been selling them to customers who are looking to build at home gym equipment or ballet barres.
