We got some different colours of Corian in so wanted to make another video of this. The material is a manmade material like plastic and is great for engraving and is hard wearing for use as a sign. When we make these types of sign we need a bit extra time to engrave as we have to allow for the paint infill to dry too.

We are now offering Custom Engraved Wax Stamper Sets at the Shop. The set contains a Stamper (which we will put whatever logo you want on), a Spoon for melting and pouring the wax and a bag of wax blocks. All you need supply is a heat source in the form of a candle or lighter. These make great stamps for Holidays, Wedding Invites, or any other thing where an olde world wax seal would be useful.

This is a video of the process we go through to make a Nameplate. From it starting as a blank piece of material to getting engraved, then paint filled, then cleaned up and then touched up with a second paint fill, followed by a final clean-up then drilling fixings holes.

We are planning to make more videos showcasing our products and so wanted a neat way to best film and photograph our stock and being that we are a traditional hardware store decided a diy turntable similar to our custom built counters and gates would look great. We had some old merchandisers that were basically scrap in our store and had plenty of pallets sitting so decided to combine the two.
