Production

A look inside production.

Short clips from different productions and production sites. From cleaving and sawing through to machining, packing and loading finished goods.

From the production floor

Short glimpses of production.

The clips show individual working steps from different productions. They do not belong to one common process but give an insight into various products and machining operations. How this network of productions is set up is described under About us.

Cross-cutting the log to length
Oak cleft posts Cross-cutting the log to length

To produce oak cleft posts, the oak log is first cross-cut to the required post length. The log section can then be processed further and cleft.

The log is cleft

The log section is pushed through the cleaver and split along the natural grain. This is how the individual oak cleft posts are formed. Depending on the version ordered, they can then be pointed.

We show more on this in the guide How an oak cleft post is made: from the log to the pallet.

Log on the band resaw
Sawmill Log on the band resaw

The band resaw first removes the outer side of the log with the bark. This produces a clean cant that can then be processed further into squared timber or boards, for example.

The range for this is under sawn and round timber.

On the band resaw the timber that has already been broken down is cut up further. In the clip this produces squared timber in the intended cross-section.

As finished goods this is available as structural timber in larch and structural timber in spruce.

A piece of squared timber is cross-cut to the required length on the circular saw. The clip shows a classic working step in the further processing of sawn timber.

Head cut at an angle
Fence boards Head cut at an angle

On this fence board the head is cut at an angle on the circular saw. The slope helps water run off at the top end of the board.

We stock fence boards as Larch fence pales, wide and Spruce fence pales, wide.

Pointing a post
Square posts Pointing a post

A square post is pointed at the lower end on the circular saw. This creates the typical point that can be ordered on fence posts depending on the version.

Among others, we stock posts as Larch posts and Oak posts.

Chamfering the head edge
Squared timber Chamfering the head edge

At the head of the squared timber the edges are chamfered with a chamfering machine. This creates a cleanly executed finish with eased edges.

Preparing a handrail for packing
Handrails Preparing a handrail for packing

The finished round handrail is first wrapped in a thin film and sealed. It is then prepared for the further packing that follows.

You will find matching profiles and timber species under Handrails.

Final sanding on the handrail
Handrails Final sanding on the handrail

The handrail, with the 90 degree end bend already fitted, is given its final sanding. Surface and transition are smoothed cleanly once more with a hand sander.

How to put your handrail together is shown in our handrail instructions.

Countersinking the hole cleanly
Handrails Countersinking the hole cleanly

The existing hole is lightly countersunk at the upper edge. This creates a clean lead-in for the threaded connection that follows and a properly executed finish.

Brackets, end bends and connectors are available under Handrail accessories.

Finished goods

Ready for dispatch.

Alongside the individual machining steps we also show finished goods immediately before or during loading.

Debarked Robinia stakes are assembled on the pallet and stand ready for loading.

Oak round posts on the lorry

Pointed Oak round posts are bundled and loaded onto the lorry. The goods are secured and ready for transport to the delivery location.

Loading in the yard

Palletised Oak cleft posts are loaded onto the lorry and prepared for dispatch. They are used, for example, for Pasture & paddock fencing or Game fencing.
