Current set of jobs

This project is coming along nicely so far. I am getting better at making some of these designs turn out the way I want them to with my CNC machine.




This one is a little tough to see because of the glare. The wood has a coating on it which I use to minimize any paint from getting into areas that will be stained later on.




This project is ready for stain which I will start to apply tomorrow. This one uses commercially made patterns which were chosen by the customer.

After waiting a week for a new bit to arrive, this cabinet is starting to finally take shape. Some more sanding and cutting of the material is needed before moving in for staining. There are also two more engravings on the inside of the doors which I'll post some pictures of later tonight.

Shop is back up and running

Well, the hurricane did some pretty severe damage all around my area but we were lucky in the sense that we only had some basement flooding to deal with. I've been able to dry out completely and put my shop back in order but I have a backlog of emails to answer and cabinets which need to be started. I'm trying to answer a few emails per night along with trying to catch up with the work.

Please hang in there if you sent me an email. If you have a deadline before October 15th, you should be aware I might not be able to meet it. If you do have such a deadline, please call me @ 845-418-2760 and leave a message with your info so I can prioritize your email and call you back.

After Irene, this was a ball field in my hometown of Suffern. The water is about 9 feet deep!

Hurricane Irene Update

Due to the hurricane that came through the N.Y. area, my schedule has been affected. All my shop tables were used for storage of tools, wood and household items. As it turns out, we fared well compared to many surrounding neighborhoods. I only had 5" of water so no property damage but it will still take me most of this week to dry out the floor and walls and put things back in order.

I'm also trying to find out what help I can provide to friends that have lost property due to rising flood waters. This will affect my available time and I'll post more info but for now my communication via direct email will be slower than normal and new cabinet work will also be on hold temporarily.

The final sizing of the doors is now complete. Now the engraving looks like it is supposed to.




Just waiting to get the customers choice for the top of the doors, straight or arched.

All American Day Staining

I've completed the staining work on this cabinet. The shade is Sedona Red from Minwax. Next up, I will be painting the logo to match the original logo.

All American Day Update

The final sanding of all parts is complete so the cabinet is moving down to the finishing area to wait it's turn. Hopefully sometime midweek I can start the staining.

MORE RAIN ....

*UPDATE* Thankfully, this wasn't nearly as bad as the last storm that rolled through. There was some flash flooding in my neighborhood and a little water did make it's way into the basement but nothing that required vacuuming to remove. SO, business as usual. * End of Update*

Well, I'm heading home and roads are flooded and closed everywhere. This is the radar for my area. I'm dead center of the red area. I have a feeling there will be more water seeping into the basement which means a day or two of drying out and dehumidifiers running round the clock. This will once again slow down the work on cabinets.

Staining 96 BS Cabinet

Tonight I started staining the parts of the 96 BS cabinet. Tomorrow I'll flip all the pieces and stain the opposite sides.

USC TROJAN Cabinet

The engraving work on this project is finished. I have moved onto sanding and shaping the cabinet parts. These pictures are of the current state. The doors still need to be ripped down to their proper width once all the sanding work has been completed.




There are two engravings that will appear on the inside of the cabinet.
