Good Directions

Good Directions recently had the pleasure to manufacture a bespoke copper 3D weathervane as a retirement gift to one of our customers living overseas. One half cut out, next to paper for size. This copper weathervane was replicated from a pre-existing design of a weathervane and turned into a new and exciting product. We cut two camels out of copper sheet on our waterjet cutter, which were shaped and dressed with care and precision using a hammer and sandbags to individually form each half. These halves were then formed and structured around the support tubes on the inside of the camel to allow the weathervane to stand and rotate freely. Afterwards, they were soldered together to complete the 3D camel. The finishing touch of this weathervane came in the form of treating the copper to create a burnished patina, to give a beautiful weathered bronze effect allowing it to proudly stand out against the sky on the customers roof.   Engineers, shaping and moulding the camel.

As exterior clock and clock tower manufacturers this is a question that we are asked all the time and there are many good reasons why we use GRP. A Good Directions GRP clock tower on a cricket score board As exterior clock and clock tower manufacturers this is a question that we are asked all the time and there are many good reasons why we use GRP.    An abbreviation for 'glass reinforced polyester', GRP is a light, durable and astonishingly tough constructional material, which can be moulded and fabricated into all manner of products. When manufacturing our clock towers in GRP one side is first hand crafted in Ash timber from which a mould tool is produced.

Monolith Clock on display outside St. Albans Reception Area Bespoke Monolith Clock Good Directions Ltd was contacted by St. Albans Girls’ School who were celebrating their 100-year anniversary and were considering installing a commemorative clock outside of their main reception area.
