As a wood turner, you can't get a much simpler request from a customer than when you are asked to produce a tapered plug. Over the years we have done hundreds of different plugs in various lengths, diameters and degrees of taper.
Although it might seem slightly macabre to some, the wooden handle in the photo below is actually used on a coffin.
It was originally designed for a different use, but a number of years back I had a request from a coffin manufacturer as to whether we had any handles that were different to the traditional turned ones that we have always done.
Did you know that we now have over 50 different handrail brackets to choose from ? Well we do, and the good looking bloke in the picture below can prove it ! Handrail brackets in different colours ... check ! Handrail brackets...
We have recently added a range of ready-to-use stainless steel balustrade posts to accompany the other stainless steel balustrade fittings that we sell.
These posts are made from 316 stainless steel and are available in either a mirror or satin finish. There are also 2 types of posts available; one for flat (horizontal) balustrade and one for angled balustrade such as on a staircase. Within each type of post you can choose from 2 wall thicknesses; 1.6mm or 3.0mm. In most situations the 1.6mm will suffice, but the 3.0mm is handy for end posts when wire balustrade is being used.
A couple of years back a timber retailer in QLD found us over the internet and expressed an interest in using our range of pyramid fence post caps. As well as the standard sizes that we make; 90 x 90mm, 100 x 100mm, 115 x 115mm and 135 x 135mm; they also were keen on getting us to make some special sizes to suit the various sized timber posts that they sold.
