Custom Quad Bunk Beds

A couple asked us to build a quad bunk bed for their 4 daughters. The mother came up with a few quad bunks that she saw on the internet. We used them as a guide and designed our own set.

The mother wanted a solid panel instead of a rail guard, the father asked to have shelves to hang off the sides of the guards. 

Needless to say the girls were estatic about their new beds.

Antique Cabinet

We were asked to make a base cabinet for the kitchen at the 1811 house. The home owner had antique cabinets they wanted placed on top of the base cabinet.

The base cabinet in place without the drawers.

The cabinet’s total height is over 9 feet.  It was exciting to see it come together.

A Little Stable

A week before Christmas, we had an order come in to make a custom horse stable for a little girl’s toy horses and doll. She sent us the dimentions, it was to be 22 inches high and 20 inches wide.

 This was a quick and fun project to put together. 

Happy New Year!

A customer of ours came by and dropped off a meal for us. It is called “Pastelon”, a plantain dish.

We are ever grateful for the kind thoughts and good deeds!

Repairing a Maple Cutting Board

A fellow brought a maple top of a cabinet to us that needed repaired. The showing side had major damage done to it so it was decided to flip it over and use the underside as the top. It had damage to that side, also but it was repairable.

Warren drilled out the damaged parts and put plugs in them.  The he trimmed them down and made the top look like new.

This Week’s “Post” :)

A local Nursery wanted us to make a post brace to display a new sign she had made by Denise, from Sign Post.

We used 6 x 6 inch western cedar for the posts and the back braces for it.

The notches were cut with a circular saw and then hand chiseled for clean up.
Then the cross braces were installed.
Tar applied.
The holes were dug and the posts installed.
The sign then was hung on the posts.
Caps were placed on the top of the posts.

The job completed, what a beautiful sign!

Restoring an Old House’s Floor

We were called out to a house that was built in 1811. The new owners wanted the bathroom floor repaired due to water damage.

Once we got the floor boards replaced with better wood we found on the property, we then started to do the sanding.

Now the floor is ready for three coats of finish. But before we started the finish, the home owner asked if we could put wainscoting on the walls.

Now, we can start the finish. 

 

After three coats of finish, the floor looks awesome!

 

 

Custom Made Loft Bunk Bed

We had a special order come in for a custom built loft bed for a rather small room. It was requested to have a book case on the end and to have the option to move the bottom bed closer to the window or away from it.  The home owner wanted it to be painted to match the trim work in the room.

We got the work done and installed it while the children were away with their mom. What a nice thing to come home to!

A New Handrail

We just got done installing a handrail system that a customer requsted. When he had his house built, he had a standard handrail installed.

Original handrail

He had envisioned having telescopic, boxed newel posts and straight balusters painted white.

After meeting with him, he decided he wanted walnut handrail and stair nosing with the newel posts and balusters painted white.

Warren had bought the lumber and started cutting out all the pieces to make 4 posts, of which 2 were large, and 2 were shorter, and 2 face fronts to apply to the walls. He then cut and sized up the balusters to fit the stairway.

After that, we painted the posts and balusters with the paint the homeowner requested, and stained and finished the rail and stair nosing. Now it is ready for installation.

In one day we installed the top banister an in two days the rest was completed.

After it was installed, the customer said it is better than what he’d imagined.
