• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Looking for these mouldings

Back in 2020 when I was working on the orangerie, I found a company who had off-the-shelf mouldings but like an idiot didn't make a note of their name. I'm specifically after the one of the extreme bottom left. Long shot but does anyone recognise these or know who the company might be ?orangerie moulding picture.jpgorangerie moulding.jpg
 
All the companies that supply those mouldings have profile images on their website. If you could take a photo of the moulding profile or make a clear line drawing then use google image search you might get lucky.
 
Do you have any emailed order acknowledgement, delivery advice etc? I'd be searching old emails for "moulding" or even "molding" if that didn't work.

Great minds, Andy. I went into Google Photos and tracked it down to some time in 2020 going by the orangerie progress photos...but I've drawn a blank with Mail...seem to have lost the archive for that period. History in browsers doesn't help. Probably bought it using a JL Partnership card but they changed back-office in 2022. Will have a go at HSBC who were the backoffice then but not optimistic.

It's a thought, Andy.
 
Do seem to remember recommending this company a long while ago, but can’t remember if it was you who asked Roger.

Thanks Ian...it wasn't them but I'll have a look. I found that I started a thread on the orangery guttering and mentioned the company ...but no name. :cautious:

Made a modification to the drawing but using a radius of 2.5mm for the two top curves makes the mould project to 55.5mm. I'm guessing the two top radius are not half round as your drawing shows 58mm to be the width of the mould.

Many thanks, Mark....both for the links and the drawing. Looking at the second link, their otder process asks you to choose from architrave, dado rail etc and TBH I'm not sure what you'd call my profile.

As you may have gathered, it's on the guttering of the orangerie. I'm just forward planning in the event that selling our place will be a long drawn out process....certainly we're thinking we may still be here in the winter which will be a right PITA. Chances are that the rot in the guttering area will need replacing.
 
Sorry to hear that Roger (you feel you want to sell your home and move), I did the drawing to get a grasp of the dimensins of your moulding.

IF you want to have a bash, I think one method of obtaining the cutter profile is to cut the moulding on the same angle as it would be machined by the cutter. So for example if the cutter sits in the spindle moulder block at 45 degrees, cut the moulding at 45 degrees and draw around the resulting profile. Then use the drawn profile to grind a cutter for the mould.

Might or might not be helpful...hope it is.

SOLVED.

HSBC sent me the statements by return and .....fanfare.....my gut feel and Mark's (meccarroll) suggestion.....kerching.

WRP mouldings. £550.....ouch. Let's hope I don't need any more
 
Not sure of the exact costing Roger but I wouldn’t be surprised if a 100mm block and custom cutters cost that much anyway. But then you at least would have got something at the end of it.
I have shipped mine (which I bought for the profile on the saddle racks ) to America or you could have borrowed it, and also thinking about it I suppose your machine is metric being a Hammer. My old beast is Imperial.

Yeah I did wonder about that but by the time 've got a big block, got cutters made, bought the wood....life's too short. I know I could sell the block later.
