Our cast iron process
We thought you might be interested in this process: –
Stage 1 Making the First Template
Once we have decided what we want to produce, the initial phase of tool creation involves designing a model template. For example, a wooden prototype of a coat hook such as a School Coat Hook is crafted. This prototype is subsequently pressed into specially prepared sand to create impressions on both sides. Following this, molten iron is poured into the mould. After the iron solidifies, the mould is broken apart to unveil the first casting.
Stage 2 The First Casting
The casting looks rough and uneven due to the wooden mould used. Although wood isn’t perfect for smooth castings, it’s beneficial for making initial prototypes. Here, it enabled the production of the first mould. The subsequent step involves refining the casting through grinding to achieve the desired finish. This will result in a smooth and polished prototype, forming the foundation for our new hook design.
Stage 3 Begin Casting
The coat hook, now cleaned and polished, showcases its freshly squared centre. This cast iron hook is primed for recasting, facilitating the production of additional hooks. Each will be hand-finished, underscoring our dedication to authentic hand-cast craftsmanship. Consequently, while our products will look the same, each will have a unique character. This principle is applied across our full line of cast iron hooks, handles, and hinges.
Stage 4 The Finished Product
The coat hook is now complete. As evident, the finish matches that of the first image, resulting in a square window. During the creation of the tooling for this coat hook, a landscape variant was also produced. Consequently, we now offer three distinctive styles of this coat hook in portrait, landscape and square, exclusive to our collection. These will be available in stock soon, once the artwork is finalised.
