Regan Crest. First Half

The first half of the doors was engraved tonight.



The darkness in the wood is from the image transfer and will go away once I run the door through the surface planer.

Last night I finished up the exterior of the doors for this cabinet. Sorry about the incorrect orientation of the picture.

Shop Report

My updates have been sparse over the last few weeks because I've been working 10+ hour days on the jobsite. This weekend I plan on having lots of time to catch up on the work going on in the shop so there should be several updates coming over the next few days.

Thanks for your patience. Have great Memorial Day weekend!

Steelers

Tonight I didn't have much time to work out in the shop but I was able to rout the circles onto the doors.

Steelers

I finished up the last 2 Superbowl logos and the Steelers logo last night. A couple of circles need to be routed out next and then the doors will get shaped to match the design the customer wants.

Another Family Crest Underway

Tonight I glued up some oak to form the door blanks for the first I two family crests I am making this month.



Next will be a surface planing to flatten out the doors and then I'll transfer the pattern onto the wood for the routing process.

Heading towards the finish line

A couple coats of polyurethane is all this needs and then it's out the door early next week.

Steelers Engraving

This cabinet will be all about the Pittsburg Steelers. There is still a fair amount of work needed on the doors but it's starting to look like something.

Progress slow but steady

The last week and few days has been a little hectic and I've found it hard to get in as much time as I would like on the cabinets. I am hoping this week proves a little easier so I can get back ok track.

I have the engraving patterns laid out for the Steelers cabinet and they should be engraved by tomorrow so pictures will be posted at that point.

Stay tuned in!
