Our 4,800 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is divided into seven dedicated departments, each arranged around a specific stage of production. This structure helps us maintain better control over material movement, workmanship, inspection, finishing, packing, and dispatch. Every department has defined equipment, operating responsibilities, and practical production limits so buyers can understand exactly what is handled within our facility.
We prefer to be clear about our actual manufacturing capabilities rather than present outsourced processes as in-house operations. The facility audit covers available floor space, key machinery, workforce allocation, monthly production capacity, quality-control checkpoints, and any specialised work completed through approved external vendors.

Material moves one way, raw store to packing, no doubling back, while equipment on the floor honestly matches the claimed capacity.
| Department | What Happens Here |
|---|---|
| Raw material store | Incoming horn and timber received, graded and stacked by size and quality band. Rejected stock is separated before it enters production. |
| Cutting & horn pressing | Horn sectioned, heated and pressed to the ordered curve or straightened for tankards. Timber cut to blank size. |
| Turning & grinding | Lathe work on wood and horn. Capacity ground to spec, wall thickness taken down, interiors bored. |
| Metal spinning | Brass and aluminium urn bodies spun and trimmed. Rims, stand rings and metal edging formed. |
| Leather section | Veg-tanned hide cut, punched, dyed and stitched for holsters, belts and carry straps. |
| Finishing & engraving | Sanding through grits, buffing, lining and sealing. Laser and hand engraving applied last so artwork is never lost to a later process. |
| QC & packing | Leak testing, gauging, weighing, labelling and carton packing against the buyer's packing list. |

The amount of work in our factory is determined by the complexity of the item, materials and hand-finishing needs. Instead of reporting one generalized number of production, we divide our daily throughput into different product categories, giving you a precise idea of our real manufacturing capacity and lead times.

We have distinct operational lines in all our lines of products. The following is the actual work breakdown structure of the core urn-making processes and secondary craft lines which will be dealt with on our factory floor.
Any working day, on WhatsApp video, we will walk the floor in the order material moves through it. No appointment and no notice needed.
