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 would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
