Workshop & production facilities

While most businesses claim to be "high-tech" or "state-of-art" Central West Joinery is content to use appropriate technology merely to enhance consistent production standards and keep costs reasonable.

For example, a craftsman 50 years ago making a door or window frame might have taken several hours just to plane wood to the required thickness, then several hours more to cut the mortices and tenons securing the frame components. These days, such labour would be truly unaffordable. Even more importantly, there would have been inevitable faults other than when done by master craftsmen,

Using fairly simple machines, Central West Joinery achieves the best of both worlds - traditional techniques, but with greater speed, accuracy and affordable prices.

The illustrations on this page show the premises and some of the processes involved.
