Putting the final paint on the operable storm blind project. It was quite a difficult project, but I learned a lot. You can appreciate the skill it took to make these in 1893.

Would I do it again?
Yes!
Why?
Because it IS difficult and pushes your boundaries.

Happy Tuesday! Continuing to work on the storm shutters and making nice progress. I had to pretty much make a jig for every part of the shutter design. I also found a catalog from 1893 that features many of the same designs that you see on Galveston historical homes.

Also, some other laser engraving work that I'm doing in between trying to assemble the shutters.

Work in progress at the shop. I've been making jigs for all of the parts that make up moveable and fixed shutters/blinds. Here's a jig that I made that uses a narrow crown stapler to set the staple in the back of the louver so that it connects to the control arm.

Happy Tuesday y'all! I've been working on a new service to offer in Galveston. If you own a historical home it might need some items that need repair or replacement.

I bought an old shutter (the blue one), from Galveston Historical Foundation Architectural Salvage warehouse and have spent the last 9 months teaching myself how to make the antique blinds that are on many Galveston homes. The black blind shown is for example, It's from Ashton Villa.

It's really neat to see the craftsmanship that went into making these! Here are some photos of my work in progress on a 48" x 17.25" moveable louver blind restoration. I'm recreating this one from western red cedar.

-Restoration & repair of moveable/fixed louver slats and control arms
-Repair of porch corbels and ornamental decoration
-Fabrication of missing or broken parts
-Exact parts match based on original
-Paint matching
-Made right here in Galveston!

Here's a furniture piece that I've been working on this week. My dad gave me some solid mahogany wood from the late 60s that he's had in storage. Such a beautiful wood to work with. I used slot joinery and glue to assemble everything. Oh, and we got a new dog. His name is Odie.
