Finished a custom bench for a customer today. They are going to paint it. Challenge my angles when the house is not square!

Cabinets are finally installed. Door and drawer faces will go in this weekend and it will really look done.

Cabinets are *mostly* done. Some slight touch up work needed. Drawers are still a pain, even with expensive hardware. Maybe if I install them correctly the drawers will work better! Just some hassles to adjust but overall coming along nicely.

Doors and drawer fronts are in the works. Tired of messing up the measurements, I finally fired up a spreadsheet to do all the calculations correctly. Can’t seem to trust my chicken scratch math- especially when I start with the wrong dimensions! I should have those mostly knocked out this weekend assuming I have enough walnut and didn’t screw too much up! Probably still need more for the toe kicks. Shop is a hot mess so I don’t fully know what I have or need! Getting closer. Bathroom demo is the week of Aug 12.

Picture shows correct config except the center drawer is between the two lower cabinets.

More progress. Face frames installed and finished. Lower cabinets are done except for the doors and drawers. Got one drawer box built. 3 more for these two cabinets. Should be a piece of cake to make the last three now that I have the “template” for the one. Also have the big 30” drawer box done and finished. Starting to come together. I’ll have all the drawers finished this week and can start on the face frame for the tower cabinets next week.

More progress. Made the two larger tower cabinets earlier in the week. Attaching the side walnut laminate to the smaller cabinets. Also created the face frames for the smaller cabinets and the drawer. And I cut the walnut for the toe kick as well. I have to finish gluing up the face frames, make the doors and drawers, install the drawer slides. Progress all around. I need more clamps and a bigger shop!

We are starting a bathroom remodel. I decided to make my own cabinets for the job. Making progress. I still need to add the face frame, drawers and doors but we are moving slowly. Two 30” vanity cabinets. One center drawer. Also two tower cabinets with drawers on the. Bottom and cabinet up top.

Some new fun boards I made this past few weeks. End grain, maple, cherry, and walnut. End grain walnut border.

Latest build: 62” x 62” reversible gaming table. Neoprene playing surface on one side and solid white oak on the other. Entire table is white oak with Rubio Monocoat white. Recessed cup holders work on both sides of the table.

I guess I kinda fall into this category. Technology during the week, making a 6’ x 6’ gaming table on the weekend!

Those who came up in the era of ‘move fast and break things’ are learning to slow down and make things.

I finished making a side table this weekend. Walnut and black epoxy top with full walnut legs and a shelf underneath. I think it turned out well. I am likely selling this so if you are interested, let me know. It’s about 37” long, 12” deep and sits about 33.5” tall. Perfect for behind the couch or as an entry table by your front door.
