Please make all measurements in millimetres.

Will the top of the post have a flat square surface, or rounded shoulders.
Square cut top of post. |
Rounded over top of post. |
Finished size of the top of the post
I
need to know the finished sizes of the top of the post. Where the base of
the cap meets the post, in order to marry up the joint.
Fixing method
Is the cap to be secured using a spigot, metal bar, screw thread or nailed in place.
If you are using a spigot, then I recommend a size of 32mm Diameter.
Spigot fixing method. A hole is drilled into the top of the newel post.
A spigot is formed on the base of the newel cap of the correct diameter,
then the spigot is glued into the hole. Provides an extremely secure fixing. |
Overall height of finished cap
What is the overall height of the finished turning. Do not include the securing spigot.
Delivery
If you are able to collect the caps, please put collect in the column. If you require delivery please include the full delivery address including the post code. Someone will have to be at the address to sign for the goods. When the goods are ready you will be contacted to arrange a convenient delivery date.
Most of my deliveries are done by APC. I normally use next day by 17.00hrs if you require a Saturday or before 09.00hrs please specify.
Please note before I can dispatch any goods I must wait until the payment has cleared.
Timber
If the caps are to be painted they can be supplied in a softwood, or yellow poplar (a light coloured hardwood, ideal for taking the fine detail of the more intricate caps, it can also be stained or painted.)
If there are existing caps that need to be matched, then I would recommend using the same timber in the replacements. Although this is not always possible as some of the more exotic species are not being imported any longer, or are in very short supply. In this case I will recommend a replacement timber with similar properties.
If the caps are to be larger than 94mm diameter, then they will have to be laminated from two or more pieces. This does not pose any problems as the glue that I use is extremely reliable, and with careful grain orientation, the joints are barely visible.
Date required
Please put the latest date that you need the caps by. My lead time does vary but normally it is within 14-21 days of the payment clearing. I cannot commence work until payment has cleared.
