Carpenter who can make 'bishops hat' style fence posts

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've been looking for wooden fence posts that are carved in that style so common in Dulwich village area - they look a bit like a bishop's hat - please see the attached image.

I need 6 wooden posts about 2m in length and 6inches wide, carved in this style.

I've looked everywhere for these kind of posts, but it seems they can't be bought off the shelf, I have to find a carpenter who can carve out the design.

So if you are a carpenter who can do this, please send me a message!

Thanks Mrs Platypus :)

Hello Mrs Platypus,


I recommend Whitten Timber to do this for you as they can supply and cut the posts for you.


At present I dont have a workshop to set up a cutting jig to achieve this, it should not be too difficult for someone with a workshop.


I am currentely looking for a workshop so if you do hear one please let me know.


Regards

Hello Scott, thanks for your post, I phoned up Whitten Timber and asked them, but they said they couldn't do it.

I have a shack/garage attached to the side of my house where you could said up a cutting jig to do the posts?

I confess I don't know what a cutting jig is and it may well be far too much hassle for such a small job...


So if anyone else out there can do it, please let me know!


Thanks Mrs Platypus :)

    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
