Come visit our tool shop, we made (most of it) ourselves!

If you haven’t already visited our renovated tool shop, why not? It’s been well over a year since we re-opened! When the overhaul initially began, the Red Box Engineering team fabricated a lot of the metalwork required, whether it was the shelving for display racking, signage; we even re-cladded the front exteriors of our tool…


Our CNC punch machine explained

Waterjet cutting in action!

Need a large or awkward load powder coated? No problem!

Over the past couple of weeks, the Red Box Paint and Powder Team have been tasked with powder coating a number of rather large planters for one of our regular customers. Each planter has had a two-metre diameter and with a some dexterous (or dicey at times, depending on which way you look at it)…
