Compass and a jigsaw? Or a contour gauge? Looks amazing either way.

Contour gauge on the ends and a scrap piece telescoped (for a lack of better word) out to get the profile.

It's not easy to jigsaw composite. Can be a real *****.

Have you tried the double ground (for lack of a better term) blades? With the teeth that alternate bevel direction. I stumbled on them for composite doing that sunning bench I posted a while back. They seem to work really well on composite, at least in my experience.

Little change of pace. There is an office furniture supply company next to our shop. They started selling these "demountable" office wall systems. Sold a decent job and asked us to install it. Installed everything and measured for glass 2 weeks ago. Glass came in today and we set it this morning. Went pretty good.

You missed and shorted a piece...

A beautiful scribe is a beautiful thing...

Nothing special, just some demo and adding new floor and roof system.

The money is great though.."whatever it costs".

Did a little side job. Built out the columns with a stacked stone and finished the tops with PVC wraps.

The homeowner was really happy with them and said I do great work. He builds really nice furniture by hand as a hobby so to me that's a great compliment.

Client sent me pix of the cabinets I installed with their new countertops.

I'm not fond of the hard square corners. But they love it.

Those cup pulls seem popular the past few years... installed quite a few of varying finishes/styles... and farmhouse sinks...

I hate those things. It's difficult to know where to mount them. If you put an even space above and below them they look wrong. You have to push them up a bit because the curved top makes it look like it's farther away. Plus the holes aren't centered in the pull so that compounds the issue.

Since I've dealt with them a lot, I've come to know how to deal with them and make them look properly mounted.

So what happened on this job?


I crack myself up sometimes.

Those and square knobs in the corner because of a similar view angle issue... always point it out to customers prior to install for "personal preference" but I also remind them that once in, they'll likely rarely think about it again...

On just about any handle or knob I put on a drawer face I mount it about 1/16" high of center. When you are standing up and looking down at them they will look to low if they are perfectly centered. The small push upward really helps remove the illusion.

Screwed up hard. What can I say....

I think you had a handle on it.

Yuck, yuck.

Finally sweet talked an AHJ out of a permit, wasn't due to have the permit before next year. Started demo this morning, give 3 guys something to do for a lot of next week, I figire December is 25k loss for the month with production down 80% , so I'll take about 3k in labor not coming out of pocket. Everyone's off from.next Friday through Jan 3

Smaller project, nice change of pace. The apartment is small but well done, it's got a 40k in windows and doors in it

Getting some chit done anyway with some guys broke loose, fences on rentals, one just became vacant after 2 years and was repainted, cleaned etc... pouring the concrete curb at the street to keep the road from getting busted up, dropped some gravel in the equipment shed, etc....

Getting concrete in my barn next week, got to get it set up this weekend. Looking forward to it actually, I'm about "officed" out at this point 😆

Finished my last Christmas gift. Nothing crazy but I really like how it turned out.
