March 2013

 



Spring is nearly here and we are all hoping for warmer weather.Lower fuel prices would also be an added bonus!

 

This month we have completed the railings that we started manufacturing in February.The pictures are below.

 

 

Railings

 

We have also manufactured a burning bin which collapses for easy storage.The sides slot together and can be stood up seperately when dismantled.

 

This month we have a lot of different contracts to complete but will cover all of these in April.

February 2013

This month we have been manufacturing a railing.We were provided with wooden templates and drawings.
We cut the material to length,worked out the drilling and tapping positions,undertook the drilling and tapping.  

 

 

Drilling of railing components.

 

 

Tapped railing components.

 

 

We then undertook the welding together of the metal and put in the metal pattern detail.

 

 

Manufactured railing panel ready for sanding down.  

 

 

 

We will also be ordering Aluminium sheets for a customer to use as a base for his machinery to keep his floor clean.

 

The other project is a collaspible burning bin that will be large when placed together but will be dismantled and stored in a shed.There will be some pictures of this later.

 

Still hoping for some better warmer weather-here's to upcoming March.

 

 



January 2013

Welcome to the first Blog of 2013-we hope that all our readers had a good start to the NEW YEAR.
(Not mentioning the weather of course!)

This month we have been manufacturing a large steelwork job for a new extension to a house.
Below are some pictures.We are a bit tight for space in the workshop now so will be finishing this
shortly to enable us to carry on with the next jobs.

steelwork ready for fabrication.

Next month will hopefully feature some gates and railings that we are manufacturing.

Here is hoping for some snow free weather.Until next time............. 





December 2012

Welcome to the blog for December,with freezing temperatures,and the hopeful promise of an enjoyable Christmas on the way we have been keeping warm with plenty of welding and thermal vests!The workshop and office are decorated for Christmas.

This month we have renovated an old weathervane and as our customer likes cricket placed a new cut out of a cricketer and stumps to complete the ensemble.See pics below.We also undertook a new side security gate for his property.Pics below.We have also fitted a set of driveway gates-see picture at the bottom of the blog.

The next blogspot will be January 2013. 



 

 

Driveway Gates 

October and November 2012

October has seen steelwork with mesh reinforcing and rebar.Pictures above.

For November we have undertaken a new boiler room door and will be manufacturing gates for various Customers.Pictures of those will follow shortly.
Early starts now due to the lack of daylight hours and now Guy Fawkes night has passed it will be Christmas before we know it.
We have plenty of site visits to undertake and work to price.  

September 2012

This month we have structural steelwork and a tube clamp contract.

The steelwork in the picture is for a loft conversion.
These were drilled and finished red oxide primer.

 

 

 

The above picture is of the cut tubes ready for drilling in order to hang them for powdering.The bottom picture is of the tubes completed ready for delivery.

We undertook the 30 metres of keeklamp contract with a very fast turnaround time.The tubes were cut to length,and powder-coated blue.Also all of the fittings were powder-coated blue.

Later this month we will be manufacturing a metal door and undertaking some more steelwork for a London based client.

We have received a lovely photograph of a project that has now been completed by our customer-we manufactured the frame for this table and the top has been cut and fixed by our customer-it is eucalyptus wood.A useful and pretty addition for any garden-complete with tea!  

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.
