Cutting Guidance Sheet |
I have listed information on here that is of specific interest to my trade clients.
Quantity Orders:
On small runs under 10 turnings it is very difficult for me to keep the costs down. If the quantities are over 10 of the same turning then I can usually offer a quantity discount.
My best rates are given when the timber is supplied by the client, and the quantities are over 10 of the same turnings.
Payment:
At present I am not VAT registered.
I usually request payment via Bank transfer prior to delivery or collection.
On orders up to £300.00 in value, or where the client has supplied the timber I normally allow cash on collection.
On orders over £300.00 in value I request 50% up front to cover timber costs, and the balance on delivery.
We understand and will
exercise our statutory right to interest and compensation for debt
recovery costs under the late payment legislation if we are not paid
according to agreed credit terms.
Delivery:
Delivery costs are a problem, I am constantly looking at ways of keeping the costs down, if I am delivering in the van and have a few drops on then I will split the cost between, each of the clients. Sometimes it can be as low as £18.00 each, other times it can be £100.00The only thing that I can guarantee is that you will not be charged over the odds, as I value my customers.
I always try and do the more
bulky collections and deliveries in person.This enables me to offer a
more personal service, and any queries that the client might have can
generally be sorted out when I am there. I cover the whole of South and
Mid Wales and regularly visit the Surrey area, supplying a few of the
local joineries and furniture restorers. I am quite happy to travel
anywhere within a 50 mile corridor of the M4. If you have a consignment
of timber that you require turning. Please call to see when I am in the
area.

My postal deliveries are generally carried out by FEDEX
Proto-type Turnings:
The turnings can be to
drawings or originals. I can also accept C.A.D. .DWG files.
If you require a sample / prototype to be made there will be a charge
for this service.
Supplying your own timber:
If you are supplying your own timber I can give you a
turning only price. I try to keep my prices down as much as possible, as
this enables me to concentrate on turning rather than machining timber. It
also speeds up the turn around time, allowing me to get the finished
turnings back to you in the shortest possible time.
· If you are supplying your own timber,
please ensure that any timber blanks supplied for turning are free from
any splits and foreign bodies i.e.. nails, screws, bits of stone etc.
· If they have been glued up from two or more sections, please ensure
that they have been left for sufficient time for the glue to cure.
· They should also be P.S.E. and cut to length. Allow 100mm extra for
spigot on newels, allow 80mm extra for spigot on newel caps, balusters
should be cut to length. click
here to print out a cutting guide sheet.
· If you would like to mortice the turnings before they are turned, this
doesn't normally cause any problems during the turning, but if you have
any doubts please speak to me first.
Shapes in turning:
Turnings are available in a variety of shapes and sizes.
You can choose from an existing design, modify a design, or even come up
with one of your own.
Below is some information to help you identify the basic shapes used in
woodturning.
Turnings can be made with solid spigots, loose spigots or just square
ends. This depends on what method you use to fix them to the finished
item. Please specify diameter of spigot required in millimetres.
Complaints:
If for any reason you have a problem with
any of my work, I would appreciate it if the complaint was made as soon
as possible after receiving the goods. This will enable me to rectify
it, as quickly as I can.
I can always be reached on these numbers:
