Who swings here

Four lines that look unrelated on a shelf and are not unrelated in a workshop.

What we make

We cast swing hangers and corner brackets from aluminum alloy, in one piece, with a sealed bearing pressed into the hanger loop. The pattern work and the pockets that take dressed lumber are ours. So is the decision to put the bearing in at all, which costs more than a bent hook and is the reason the swing still turns quietly in year four.

Alongside that we pour gray iron for an eight inch tortilla press, and we cut sheepskin to footbed shapes for winter boots. Neither belongs on a swing set. Both come out of the same habit: a heavy simple object that does one job and does not need a manual.

Why these four lines

People ask, so here is the honest version. The castings and the press come off related processes and the same benches. The wool started as lining offcuts and turned into a line of its own because it sold. We did not plan a catalogue around a theme. We kept the things that worked.

What that means for you is that the four shelves are read separately. Nothing on the hanger shelf is sized against the press, and the insole shelf has nothing to do with swings.

How this site works

This is our catalogue, not our till. Every item here opens on the listing at our retail partner, and that listing is where the price, the stock and the delivery estimate come from. Prices noted on these pages were read in September 2026 and go stale the way printed prices always do.

The bench notes are the other half of the site. Most of what goes wrong with a backyard swing goes wrong in the wood or in the hole, so we wrote down what we know about lag screws, spacing, S hooks and anchoring rather than repeating the box copy.
