That's what oil paint is for. The customer gets white now, and by the time they're tired of white, they have sickly yellow instead.

 

Not a current job, I made this 9 years ago. Facebook decided to remind me today. My instructor told me it was a steak flipper. Might've made a good butt scratcher. I never used it for much.

 

Hannibal Lecter would find good use for that!

 

If you're sick of white come down here to the beaches and go into one of these modern homes. You'll know what a Tylenol feels like.

 

Orange?

 

Me and my big mouth.[emoji2357]

 

Ooooo shiny.

 

Instead of a simple refresh looks like it’s going to be a complete redo!

 

Don't get it. Why?






🤣🤣🤣

 

Pretty dang rare that a refresh actually works out to be one. Gets old, having to be the one bearing bad tidings.

Found an old pic of my bottle opener. It's still in the barn somewhere, where most of my drinking was done back then.

What do you mean this isn't the Post an Old Picture of Some Random Handicraft thread?

 

Don't call me trailer boi. Just finished electrical rough-in on this 3 BR house.

 

Hey I'm shark boi so maybe were cousins 😆

 

Oops... Crap.

Ooooo Ahhhhhhhh, we fix'm

Made a display cabinet. Got to use my plexiglass bender again.

And of course... the "repair"

Also made a display briefcase to go along with the display case.

And yes, that's a window latch. And it really works good for both the case and briefcase.

Sno gave me a hand with all this.

 

Nice recovery on the display case.

Long ago a friend was selling art and I made her a long narrow brief case to display all the frame sample corners.
I also used a window latch for closure, no worries on it inadvertently popping open.

D.

 

This style is really nice for the window latch. Has a spring in it and puts some pressure on the two parts but nothing excessive. Old style window latch really wouldn't work as it is designed to push the sash away up and down along with pulling them together. This one only pulls them together.

That laser sure has come in handy. Never knew I'd be using it to fix saw cuts that were too long though LOL

 

First outside job of the year. A little earlier than I would normally like but they have a deadline on when they pick up their new camp trailer and need a spot to store it.
On strip of frost that was still 12” deep.

 

It was 75ºF today. You still have snow on the ground?

Brrrr.

 

Just the last two days. Had the top off the Jeep on Friday. Warm again starting on Saturday. We have bipolar springs.

 

Not unlike here I suppose. 2 very warm days and then back into the mid 50s

 

We recently had three days in the mid-90s to high 90s. then down to low 70s then mid-60s now back to low to mid-70s.

Crazys hit.

I'm making 3/4s of a cabinet

Got a job where I need to add a cabinet onto the end of a peninsula. Match the stain and the door and drawer styling. Try to make it look like it was there originally.

Here's the drawer front. The outside profile isn't exact, it's close. I got another router bit on order that might be closer. I'm hoping I can just go over this profile but I doubt it. Gonna have to get another pc of wood for this drawer front.

Here's the door. Odd setup. Shaker profile with a cove panel profile. It'll also get the classical profile for an edge treatment.

The cabinet is a trash pull out. I made a dovetailed pullout that holds two 50qt pails, recycle/trash. It's tall enough where you can't put a drawer in there but they wanted the styling of having the drawer front on the cabinet to keep the continuity.

Waiting on the color match for the Honey Oak stain. Probably coming Monday. Until then it sits in the shop.

 

Huge fan of the trash pullout, I've always used kits like the rev a shelf ones, now I'm feeling inspired to try making one.

 

Little access cut. I did this one from my desk. Note the horizontal rebar that landed smack dab in the middle of the bottom kerf, preventing cutting further with the Cut-N-Break. That was a first for us.

 

Reg, do you guys take the cutout or just break it up and leave it? Any cutters I have used show up in a box and don't have an option for removal. We did one that was a 6'x8' cut for a frenchwood door. Excavator still had his machine there, had hime dig a hole and we dropped it right in and covered it up.

Those guys were pumped but alas no discount. They were not so happy that they were done so soon the boss sent em' to another job .

 

We did one that was a 6'x8' cut

"For an extra thou, we'll give you a nice , small patio. Maybe 6'x8'?"

 

Any special trick to squaring off the corners so neatly with a circ blade, or just freehand sculpting?

 

It's all freehand, you can see the overcut where the saw just kisses the adjacent facet. Looks like railroad tracks.

 

You have a concrete recycler there?


Here, I haul my concrete, block, tile, even toilets, to a yard for free, and they grind it up for RCA. Then I buy RCA from them. 😳🙄🤣

 

When I do egress windows or door openings, we bust up the concrete and use it for aggregate on site.

 

Just finished up this Hardie board/batten job.

We only are responsible for the siding install on this one, porches etc will be done by others.

Looks like most of our winter siding is behind us. Foundations are in the ground! Starting a custom framing project Tuesday.

Very nice

 

He wanted a modification of the display briefcase. Decided it was too tall for his needs. He wanted me to cut down the original one and then make a 2nd one. Since I had to make the second one I decided I'd just make 2 at the same time. I used the glass lid from the original and made another for the duplicate. Also got the lid stays he put in the original. So now he'll have two of them for his leather products he creates.
