It’s been a while since I posted anything. The reason is not that little has been going on in the workshop. Quite the opposite. I’ve been busy with many projects as well as improvements and upgrades to the workshop. I plan to catch up on sharing completed
First up is an extensive study project that occupied much of my attention over that time period. The design was by Lani Collard of Mialani Interiors.
With the addition of nearly six hundred square feet of cabinetry and wall paneling, the room was transformed into a functional home study displaying a lifetime of memories from a painting of the church my clients were married in to a set of 100-year-old stained glass windows salvaged from a relatives home.
It’s hard to list all the custom details in the study, suffice it to say there were many. Sliding doors at each workstation to hide computer drives, LED lighting throughout, large glass display doors, LED panels to backlight the stained glass windows, sliding shelf for the printer, cabinet to hide the shredder, filing cabinet drawers, and slide-out keyboards. The list goes on.
The countertops were made from Richlite, a material I had not worked with before. It’s basically paper infused with resin under pressure. Very hard, and very heavy, it’s rated for outdoor use, and finishes beautifully. Of the many options available for countertops this is one I will bear in mind in the future.
As has happened so often in the past, I was once again blessed with wonderful clients. Working alone on a project this size, the installation was done over many days, and some of my fondest memories of the project were sharing lunchtime breaks with my clients. Nice food, great conversation, and companionship made “installation days” something to look forward to!
