Just for Todd

Here they are, Todd. Right out of the '70's. I think 3 of the doors lined up properly. The bottoms are all square, but they don't close right. They all bump into each other or the hinges on the door next to it. I'll have to take the ones that don't close all the way and just rip a little off with the table saw.

And you thought it would look like a soup kitchen. If anything it looks like a church basement.

If anyone's still wondering these are the cabinets that Todd and I made for my garage. The boxes and doors are cover sheets, and the frames are Oak, Maple, and Alder scraps. It's a hodge-podge.

Latest side job.

Here's what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks or so. With installing it, scheduling the sanding and coating, and covering the floor, it's been pretty time consuming. But it has turned out to be my best work to date.

The floor is 4 inch rustic Walnut. It's been sanded and has two coats of oil based sealer on it. That's why it's so shiny. It will be getting two more coats of water based polyurethane, which will give it a satin finish.



The border in the living room is 3 boards wide, which makes it one foot wide in total. The center will be getting carpet.


The joints of the border are done "log cabin" or "herring bone." I chose that style because it believe that it is stronger than miters and I think that it fits the style of the house much better.



Thats 'bout it for now. I've got some cool stuff that I'm doing on Thursday and Friday, so until then.

What I have been drinking.

Quick Update.

It's been a while since I wrote. So here's a snippet of what I've been up to.

*Works been super busy. Which is awesome since I'm in the housing industry.

*Been busy with side jobs.

*Did floors for Jacobs, Robin and Greg, and will be doing another one this weekend.

*Got a new nephew. Parker Mathew. He's just a little peanut. Oh, and I'm his only uncle. Poor guy, huh.

*Went to the Fair with Mel. Mmmmmmm......cheese curds.........

*Stupid Labor Day....summer's over now. poop.

*Summit's getting big, and she's all full of piss and vinegar. Destroying all of her toys, and I even caught her trying to take a bite out of my new table. She'll only do that once, trust me. But she's still a puppy so it's normal.

*Since buying the Tahoe, I've put 4000 miles on it and about 4 on my Jeep.

That's probably about it.... Pretty boring, eh?

O.K. then bye.
