Didn't Introduce Myself...just Barged Right In.


I stumbled into a few threads yesterday, but failed to make an introduction, so here goes. I'm a trim and cabinet guy in Minnesota.

Thought I would see what I can learn here, and as you might have already gathered, I'll offer some different approaches to the trim and carpentry gig.

Here are a few pics of some of my work:

I seen the pics from your previous threads, you do nice work indeed. With all that nice lumber so readily available in your neck of the woods I'd be in the shop from 8 to 8, M through Sat

Wow, that arched pocket door is crazy, looks great, but hopefully that slab never has to come out.
Also, I think I saw those roof braces in Fine Homebuilding... pretty cool, very nice work.

Thanks. The arched pocket door was the homeowners idea. Not something you see everyday.

Re: Didn't Introduce Myself...just Barged Right In.


I remember reading your thread about that train station project on bt, welcome to ct. You do fine work, lookin' forward to your conversations...

Although, I think I'm just as impressed at the cleanliness and organization of your shop! Damn, dude, that's a cool spot!

I noticed that as well it has to be stage props. NO one keeps their shop that clean.

Thanks.

Each year I get more shop work than the year before. Fall has been half shop, half jobsite work. Winter will be mostly shop work.

This summer I finally bought a real table saw:
