Ballerina table decoration

In between the cabinets and built-ins we do the occasional small job. Over the years I’ve often been suprised at what I’ve been asked to make. This fun job was no exception.

The ballerina will be used as a table decoration at a young girls birthday party. She will be placed in the center of the table and the table cloth will complete her “tutu”.

Textured panel

One of my clients saw some textured doors I have on some of my workshop cabinets. She found a way to work the concept into her design.

This will be the back of an open cabinet. It will be painted white, in contrast to the grey rift sawn oak the rest of the interior of the cabinet. The texture will be highlighted with an LED light.

I’m looking forward to seeing the effect!

Exciting news

Some exciting news!

Shopbot Tools, the manufacturer of my CNC router approached me about using images of some of my projects in one of their advertisements.

I’m honored they thought highly enough of my work to showcase their product.

My CNC is such an important part of my workshop, it’s great to be able to return the favor.

Study bookcases

One of the more satisfying aspects of what I do is to see something we’ve built adding both beauty and function to someone’s home. It’s nice to see a piece being used.

We installed this project yesterday and early this morning I received a thank you email from my client along with this image.

The bookcase was designed and built around an existing piece of furniture.

Display shelving and fireplace

“Stunning. So excited. Better than expected”.

It’s so gratifying to hear words like that from a client. We put in some long hours to get this project built and installed before a special family event. Soon after we finished cleaning up my client left for the airport to pick up family members flying in from overseas. Just in time!

The display shelving features an open space in the center for a wall hung TV. On the right side is a gas fireplace clad in shiplap. The right panel of the cabinet housing the fireplace can be removed, providing access to the gas line if needed.

Cedar tongue and groove ceiling

Small spot of paradise in the Florida sunshine. We just finished installing a cedar tongue and groove ceiling in this lanai. A project like this is outside of my normal scope of work. After building a wine rack for my client he approached me about installing this ceiling. It sounded like a fun project, so I agreed to do it.

He has been working on the pool area for the better part of a year and, after the installation of the ceiling, it is nearly complete. He told me that we had exceeded his expectations on both this project and the wine rack. Very gratifying to hear that!

Live Edge Table

We are busy with a live edge bar table. These images show the slab and legs prior to glue up and finishing. The table can be disassembled easily for transport due to the half lap dovetail joints and tusk tenon and wedges.

Custom vanity and bead board

It’s always nice to see a completed project. Especially when they look as good as this!

We built and installed this vanity and bead board a short while ago and my client sent me this picture showing how it turned out after the countertop and plumbing was done.

Doors and frames for a fireplace niche.

Often while installing a project for a client they will ask if I can help with another small project. This is one such example.

My client needed some doors and frames to conceal the recess either side of the fireplace.

The beadboard was made to match some existing beadboard on the other side of the room. I routed finger pulls into the doors so visible hardware would not be needed. My client will paint the doors and frames to match the trim.

Docking drawer

One of the features of the kitchen we recently built was a Docking Drawer. It is a hidden charging and power outlet located in a cabinet drawer. A hinged swing arm allows the drawer to operate normally.

It provides the ability to charge all the electronic devices that make up our lives today without taking up valuable counter space.
