Jobs I should have said "no" to.

33 hours later... and it doesn't look like I did anything, which really was the goal. An early 1900's, small, stained, 3 legged table a client asked to have refinished. It has a lot of sentimental value. The original mahogany veneer was chipping off from water damage. And it had a layer of poplar veneer underneath that, which was also removed. A quarter inch thick layer of solid mahogany was then added to replace the original 2 layers of veneer on top. The top is trimmed out with 11 total, cut, routered pieces of mahogany that also had to be removed and refinished, and then reattached. And lastly, the contoured edge all the way around the underside of the perimeter had to be hand sanded back to its original shape.

I probably could have built a new table faster than I could have repaired this one. This is one of the hardest jobs I've ever taken on.

A nice change. I was hired as a painter, which was my previous profession before woodworking. This was a massive undertaking which involved painting existing red oak cabinets cream white (above), and charcoal gray (below), as well as adding all new handle hardware.
This job also included tiling, both behind the coffee area, as well as behind the oven. Tucker Woodshop also built shelves, which replaced the boxed in, dead spaces located on both sides of the kitchen sink, at the ends of the upper cabinets.

Quite the challenge! A beautiful pool that couldn't have a pool cover, until now. Definitely not woodworking, yet this is the latest project Tucker Woodshop can now call complete. This thing had to be built backwards from the normal process they're usually produced by, starting by placing the anchor bolts, then spanning the webbing, then came sewing (shout out to Blackfathom Cave Gear!), followed by the heavy mesh pool cover, and finally the hardware. Four objectives had to be met:
1-Prevent an adult/child, and/or leaf litter, from falling in the pool✅️
2-Has to look and perform at professional grade✅️
3-Has to be quick and easy to put on and take off✅️
4-Has to last as long as professional grade pool covers (12+ years)🤞✅️

More puzzles heading to Puzzledabq in Old Town, here in Albuquerque! I love that place. It's always hard when I drop off an order, not to spend all the money back on all the other cool puzzle stuff they also have in their store.

Just refinished this table that was stained to look like Black Cherry, but is actually Rock Maple. It had to match the base, so I restained it again, which was pretty painful to do. Why they didn't just make the table out of cherry is beyond me.

Apparently, this is a thing?!?! Tucker Woodshop recently converted an old, chef's style, end grain, maple, chopping block (on 4 legs), into this footstool/coffee table on wheels. Whatever the customer wants.
The original, outer perimeter was crafted from alder, a relatively soft hardwood, which wasn't ever sealed, and was pretty banged up. That was removed and replaced with the customer's own cherry tree, with hard maple used for the corners. Underneath was then framed in with more hard maple, to solidify everything, and also to allow the wheels something to mount on.
