A number of years back a local lounge manufacturer asked us if we could make a facing in timber that they were up until then buying in plastic.
With two 5-axis CNC's to choose from, we were able to write a program to reproduce the product in timber. As you can see from the photos below, we manufacture the facing in batches of 4 at a time.
Whether you make lounges for a living or run a re-upholstering business, Hammersmith has a large range of turned and square timber lounge legs to choose from.
Over the last decade the design of lounge suites has become much more modular, and as a result the turned timber lounge leg has been replaced by the square version, such as the one shown below.
A great way of decorating the top of a post on a staircase is to adorn it with one of our newel post caps. These caps are manufactured in such a way that they are hollowed out underneath so that they will drop over a post.
Manufacturing timber mouldings is an easy task when you have the right equipment. Luckily for us, we have high quality machinery to produce both the necessary tooling and the end product.
We needed all of this expertise recently when a customer asked whether we could make a Pelmet and Dentil mould. They had been sourcing this product from overseas, but they were not happy with what they were getting.
Last year we added 2 specially designed eave brackets to our range of treated timber brackets.
As eave brackets are not commonly seen on Adelaide homes we had never felt the need to manufacture them, but with our online shop drawing on sales from all over Australia, we decided that it might be worth adding them to our product range, as they are used extensively on homes built in other states of Australia.
We manufacture a number of different treated roof finials, but one of our more unusual finials is the Gooseneck design.
Based on a traditional design that can be found on many 100 year old Australian homes, particularly in Adelaide, the Gooseneck roof finial is manufactured from Radiata Pine that is then LOSP treated to withstand the outside elements.
Although most of the products we make relate to furniture, stairs and exterior structures; we do have a large range of other items that we manufacture for companies that aren't involved in these markets.
One such item is tie back stems for a curtain and blind manufacturing business. We have been making this design for them for over a decade, and it still continues to be as popular for them now as it was when we first started doing it.
We have been making a turned Ball style treated fence post capital for nearly 20 years; and over this time we would have sold well over 250,000 of them.
The design we have been producing is a bit different to what was being used in Western Australia; and this became an issue in recent years as the number of local WA wood turning business began to decline.
