Sawdust and Shenanigans

New kennel design for a client. Instead of the full cabinet type build that I usually do, this build was designed to incorporate the use of the existing wire kennels and create a cabinet to cover the crates to improve the view of the space. Cabinet was built out of Oak and finger jointed Douglas Fir top stained with Dark Walnut and Polyurethane.

New barn doors recently installed for a client in her new home. These doors are over 8 feet tall and the rail system comes with all of the bells and whistles. We started with a single rail system but once installed we both agreed that a dual rail set up was a better choice. We included low profile floor guides, soft close/open rail add on with 12" tall door handles (that should help show how tall these doors are!).

I had the pleasure of building a "Mud Kitchen" for the grand daughter of a high school friend. Before this request I had not heard of a Mud Kitchen previously, but this is a seriously cool thing for a kid.

Build was requested to be painted in white with stained accent pieces. I used Minwax Special Walnut stain with Helmsman Spar Urethane. I had a cedar slab in the shop that I used for the top of the kitchen. Gave it a nice heavy stance.

New Cedar/Redwood lattice bench with raised planter for my friend Jenn Willems new home. 4' length with a 7' height lattice back. Fun build.

Built a set of bypass barn doors for a friend's bedroom leading into her bathroom. Doors are made of Poplar, left natural colors and sealed. All construction was done through wood joinery and no screws or nails. We had a small opened wall space to work with so the bypass door was a perfect design.

Picked up this old beauty of a Rexon Shaper about a month or so ago in Northern California. Ran smooth but had a broken power switch. Picked up a paddle switch and cut the face to fit it. Running like a champ. All for $75! Game changer for me.

Over the Christmas break I helped install this beautiful shiplap entryway to new home. Drastic difference from the stark white entry to the finished product.

Custom Single Barn Door Kennel. White cabinet and Dark Walnut Minwax stain top.

I acquired a 5' Oak round tabletop from my sister when she moved. I didn't want the whole table, just took the top. I had no plans of what to do with it. Just couldn't leave it behind. Friend contacted me a couple of months later looking for a place where he could find a top to make a dining table. Swing on by, you're in luck! He showed up over the weekend and we cranked out a new table. Done.

Custom pallet wood cradle for a good friend of mine.
