August 2012

This month as promised includes the bespoke fire basket,some galvanized support tables for a different type of project-more on that later.Also a art deco style bracket.




The above fire basket was made for a customer as a one off piece as their fireplace opening was too narrow for a standard basket that could be purchased.The bottom picture shows the front in closer detail.The two cones which sit either side of the centre ball where machined by our friend Alan who is a real whizz on our lathe-thank you Alan-you put us all to shame again with your lathe skills!!



The other piece for this month is a art deco style bracket to hold an old ships bell.Pictured above.Finished black gloss paint.


  
The picture to the right is of three galvanized raised grid support tables.These look a normal type of job for us to undertake-it was very interesting to find out their final use though.
Our customer will be placing bags of wood pellets for a domestic wood pellet burner system onto the tables.This will provide heat and hot water for his home via the wood burning furnace .This is the new green way forward for the use of sustainable energy. Very interesting and different.

Autumn will soon be upon us-lets hopefully enjoy some sunny days before then.
