New garage door pictures added
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
We’ve been busy adding stunning new photos of our exciting range of wooden garage doors to our website. Now, each of our standard designs of doors have their own pages, with bigger, clearer pictures (showing the front and rear aspects) and details of each door, allowing you to view our hand-crafted doors close-up. We’re sure you’ll be impressed by our craftsmanship and the beauty of wood, lovingly crafted to create each individual bespoke door.
Each individual door page can be accessed from our main garage door page, which can be found at wooden garage doors

Woodworking joints – Joining timber in length
Monday, November 9th, 2009
Scarf joints
These are the most important joints for the lengthening of timbers, and the most difficult to construct. They are used where it is required to keep the section of the timbers uniform in size. The two pieces in a scarfed joint are cut and fitted to each other, so that the same breadth and thickness are retained. For jointing wide boards (Fig.A) shows the type of Scarf joint that would normally be used. Where additional strength is required (purlins or beams) then scarf joints can be bolted and plated – this is also known as a fished joint (Fig.B).
