Good Directions

  At Good Directions Ltd we have a wide variety of Weathervanes on offer. Whether these be bespoke one-off items designed specifically for the customer or standard stock items, we are proud of the magnitude we can offer our customers. One of our most popular repeat items is our ‘Father Time’ Weathervane. This is a replica of the famous Lord’s Cricket Ground Weathervane, which has proudly sat atop the cricket ground since gifted by the architect of the Grandstand back in 1926. Good Directions has had a working relationship with Marylebone Cricket Club for over a decade now and are the proud official manufacturers of the Weathervanes, which are sold on the official Lord’s website. These Weathervanes are cut out on an industrial Waterjet machine, from 3mm Mild Steel, before being powder coated in black. To complete the look each weathervane is then hand finished with gold on the arrow, ball and scythe, as well as the letters of the directs below exactly as they are on the original...

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.
