**Working Conditions**

Thor's Hammer has recently moved to a new premise in Griffith ACT (on the edge of Fyshwick) and created a state of the art joinery workshop. Most of our machinery is German Martin brand and is very accurate, safe and quiet. We have also recently installed a Biesse 5 axis CNC.

Recycled hardwoods are dense and heavy and working with them requires you to be strong and in good physical condition. We have plenty of trolleys, pallet jacks, racks and rollers designed to make moving these timbers around safe and reduce fatigue.

For finishing we use a great German, natural oil based finish called Osmo. It is approved food safe and safe for children’s toys when dry. Most of our filling is done with a plant based epoxy resin.

In the joinery team at Thor's Hammer there is a good mix of work - from making bench tops to custom made cabinetry, doors and fine furniture - all in solid recycled timber.
