New house design I'm working on. Shoulda broke ground right about now... :laughing:

 

Here's the largest walnut job that I've been part of. 50 sheets of plywood and somewhere around 1000 bd ft of solid wood. Not 100% done yet but real close.

 

That's bad ass

That looks fantastic, man.

Get a posterity shot of you and the crew!

 

Nice work J.C. Walnut is a pleasure to work with.

Tom

 

Nice!

 

Is all the grain filled on the walnut? It looks like it from here.

 

No, no grain filling on this one. However, there is a couple extra coats of finish to partially fill the grain.

 

I love the smell of walnut when working with it.


Mike.

Walnut burns my throat and sinuses. Love to work with it... just wear a mask.

 

Just another 6bundles arrived.

Looks like you'll be busy!

Since walnut lightens as it ages and is exposed to outside light, did the customers have any concerns? It looks like there are a lot of outside light sources.
Did you do any type of stain, or just natural?
Looks awesome--like it should be in Sherlock Holmes' mansion! :thumbsup:

 

Yes, it is stained. The boss had mentioned to the GC about UV protection on the windows but I don't know if they are going to add any or if the windows already have a UV film. They are new windows so it may already be factory applied.

 

That has a dark stain on it. Natural Walnut isn't that dark.

 

6bundles. 2 more coming later in day.

Got talked in into painting. It was much needed though. Ran out of ceiling paint in left back corner.

For some reason I can cut everything in freehand fairly easy but when it comes to the bottom, like base I need some to tape.

Because you're looking down... :whistling :laughing:

 

Gravity.

 

Not a hole lot going on today, just 600-700 cuts

They look pretty flat... :whistling

 

Still waiting for the final word on the next kitchen. As soon as that happens I'll stop the thumb twiddling.

Made a sign to go out front by the road. I've been here for 14 years and never put one out.

I did a bit of detailing on the corners and now I'm putting a few coats of Target EM9300 WB Polycarbonate Urethane. No idea if it's going to be compatible with the black Clawlock primer. But I'm doing it anyway.

Primed with the black by just coating the face. And then I ran it though the planer twice on each side taking 0.010" off each pass. So now my sign is a bit over 7/8" thick.

 

A man of your skills and that's what you're going to put out front?

Unacceptable you should have a beautiful plaque made with some burned inscription on it.

 

Won't fit with the others out front. I haven't had a sign out there for 14 years. I really don't care about this. I'm putzing around. If I had a CNC that'd be a different story.

Why would I burn it in? That's not anything that I would ever offer. This is a cheap sign making jig, it'll be fine for people driving by.

 

I have real estate style signs that your sit in the garage and I never ever use them.

I really need to actually times have changed the computer is sucking a lot of business another directions but I tell myself that I would make something with nice wood columns and the sign in between those two dress It up.

But never get to it then again I also say I'm going to come up with a new logo or way of writing my stuff and that's why I don't do the other stuff.

 

All that stuff burns a lot of time if you aren't really setup for it. I am not setup to do signs. I am not setup do to exterior. The sign is for the people that can't find my shop even though it's pretty easy. This will be the 1st pc of advertisement that I have had in a long time.

I'd get excited if someone said they called because they saw the sign out front :laughing:

 

With my luck the 1st call from the sign will be someone asking if I make signs :laughing:

 

Unfortunatly you do, as proven by that sign.:whistling

 

Sign is completed. This is what I did to fancy it up, cut out the corners. It's got a gloss exterior coat on it, not that you can actually see it in the picture. I'll get it mounted tomorrow.

Ya ya ya, beneath me...

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself... you only did what the customer wanted after all... :whistling :laughing:

 

And he's happy enough with it. :laughing:

Everyone seems to think their comment counts :laughing:

 

What? No obligatory wood graphics? Edge?.... :whistling :laughing:

 

Now a wood sculpture of a carpenter in totem pole fashion would grab people's attention. There was a guy around here that had a giant hammer whittled out of a log it was the coolest thing.

 

Finishing up this one, just stopped by so I thought I'd throw some pics up. Elevator is a new brand for us, Elevators of Texas.
