My shop foreman, Zach, designed and built this table for his mother. Solid Walnut, welded legs.

Looks good. People don't understand the amount of thought that has to go into a base to make it work.

He did good...

 

working for the one customer that never pays me, never buys materials an steals the covers most nights 🙄🤣

 

How the day started vs how it ended 11 hours later.

Aside from the runner that I pulled up last week, today went

Demo railing
Cut off nosings
Sand existing treads and stringers. Treads to help glue adhere, stringers will get painted
Install new riser skins (precut them all Wed)
Skim wood filler as needed
Cut and install shoe that runs under the nosing to give a better overhang
Cut all the nosings and returns
Cut flooring to size and made a jig for my router to make a matching tongue on the short side to go under the nosing
Glue it all down
Go home and have a beer. Or two

Tomorrow I'll get the newels and railing in, homeowners are gone until Sunday afternoon

Trying to get this job completed today ( on a Sunday 😰). If you guys ever need Electronic Window Curtains material supply, contact me. We actually manufacture them, both curtains and the electronic rod. Our electronic curtains are compatible with Smart Home ( Amazon Alexa and Apple Home). I will share with you guys the video after we have it completed today!

 

There we go 😁

 

Very cool.

 

Yo! MTV Cribs.

 

😂 😂 😂 😂 🤙

 

Sure would have been easier to have a cutter.

After the glue dried I cut the White Oak at a 45 as close as I could without hitting that open spot.

It's going to end up being this floating set of drawers

 

The profile looks real close to the lock miter head we use.

Tom

 

Yep, it's something I don't have. And I didn't want to buy it because I wanted to get this done now. So the 3 sided box is glued up at the shop now. I'll take it out of clamps tomorrow.

The box gets painted white while the drawer fronts will be White oak.

 

Are you going to leave a small flat on the edge of the RSWO miter?

Tom

 

Plain Jane White Oak.

I'm going to round it over some. Didn't exactly want to do a 45. But if I go shallow on the box angle the drawer front angle gets even sharper. It's a neat look, but it has flaws. Mostly the easily damaged outside miter corners. Another reason why I did the oak vs just plywood with a thin veneer.

 

1860's era house.
They wanted PVC used to replace the old rotted wood.
Each panel is a different size and each opening is way off square.
Made them over-sized and marked where they get cut to fit.

Now he wants me to do all the priming, caulking, hole filling and painting for the rest of this bay window structure...the same color scheme as shown in the panels.

 

^^^^
Fixing all of that should keep you busy for a while.

Looks pretty good so far. 👍

 

Poured a footing for an areaway/ steps from the basement.

I get to cut the opening into the house tomorrow. Really looking forward to that. 🥴

 

Looks kind of odd, Tom. Two doors?

 

1 door, a 5 footer, our cut is at 6 feet, as per the GC installing the door.

Those paint marks are not correct, he told us originally a 6 foot door.

Still not getting it. Looking forward to a followup pic or three.

 

One opening 6' wide, pockets cut for a lintel, the upper notched area was the existing window.

A real pain to cut, wore out a new chain and one that was 30% good. Still ended up having to resort to cutting with the 14" wheel saws.

Pulled it out with the excavator.

 

Up coming job to put soffit and fascia on for a new builder client.

Randy, do they wait & do soffit & fascia on after masonry there. That’s how I learned. Don’t see that in Tx.


Mike

 

That's nuts to me, pain in the ass for the painter and someone would have to go back and tuck in mortar around Rock pocket if it's done after. What's the advantage?

 

Normally I do the s/f first then the Mason up to it. Also with LP or Hardie like them to run the eve side of siding wild then a J over that. Cleaner look IMO Although on this one he wants me to do s/for first. On Drivet they run that first too and J over it.

First time pouring one of those epoxy countertops.

 

Which brand was that. I need to do either epoxy or concrete tops on my place.

Or just let the plywood age and get a nice hillbilly patina.

Buff veneer on the most crooked wall ever….

 

I don't do much commercial work but I do occasionally. Somehow it's always some sort of a doctor/dentist. This time it's an orthodontist. Pretty much a full gut the work cabinets and patients chairs are staying but getting reupholstered. I already did some re-laminating of some counter edges and doors.

Today we put in a coffee cabinet that will hold a beverage refer too. Really surprised at how off the floor was. 3/8" over 4'.

Here's the mostly finished product. Still need to put the stretchers between the panel and the cabinet and the toekick skin.

Then onto the next project, the reception desk reskin. It's going to get horizontal v groove running horizontally. The boards will be about 7" wide.
