Wooden patterns are unmatched for precision. Wood can be machined to the finest specifications. Wood is durable, you can take multiple castings from the one timber model, which is why Charles Sandford services are in demand from companies like Aerospace Technologies Australia (a division of Boeing). |
Aerospace needed a full-scale model of a drop fuel tank - accurate to within half a millimeter. Charles laminated wood into a block and painstakingly machined it to their dimensions. Less hi-tech industries need that precision too, like furniture designers, concrete, fiberglass and ceramic casters and milliners, who keep coming back to Charles with requests for hat blocks for their latest styles. As a master craftsman Charles knows about making precision instruments. |
