Watch a timber post being turned
Two original workshop views: the turning tool shaping the profile, followed by a wider view of the lathe. Press play to watch the complete 30-second film.
What you can see
- 0:00–0:15 — close-up. A craftsperson holds a turning tool against the rotating timber. The view shows the curved profile and the tool working along its surface.
- 0:15–0:30 — wider view. The camera shows the craftsperson standing at the lathe with a longer section of the timber visible.
These are two workshop views, not a claim that both clips show the same post. The footage does not establish a product code, timber species, finished dimensions, load capacity or installation method.
A similar curve is only part of a match
When replacing a post, the overall height alone does not describe its profile. Record the square section and the lengths of the square top, turned section and base. Photograph the whole original as well as the detail you want copied, with a measurement reference in view.
Use the existing post measurement worksheet to organise those details. The workshop can assess the supplied photographs, drawing or sample before confirming what can be made. This film is an observation of workshop work, not a machining or structural-safety tutorial.

Choosing a standard post instead?
The verandah post range brings together designs, drawings and size choices. Use the selected size’s current shop price and unit, and confirm delivery and your written quotation with the workshop. A post seen in this film is not automatically one of those standard choices.
