Wanna know what we're up to? ...But don't want to be a creeper in our window? Come here & take a look!
Check out upgrades to the shop, progress & processes, and occasional shop silliness.
There's a laminated safety glass panel permanently installed in the top section there.. The little molding holding that in was a real challenge! As soon as the hardware arrives it'll be out the door for install..Been able to catch up on all kinds of way behind projects the past few weeks.
Here it is done. Stained varnished and installed!
The before shot.
We made new CNC carved signs from white oak inspired from a 1927 architectural drawing provided to us from the board at Homeland. There had been years of vandalism and theft of the applied letters on the sign so we opted to carve the letters permanently into the new signs. Thank you to Beth at the Homeland Association for the patience and inspiration, and to Jamie, Rick, and Justin at Chesapeake Woodworking in Baltimore for the help in getting this job done. Check it out!

Some big french door shutters with raised panels and trees and a 50/50 split for a residence in Homeland .. We also fabricated new slide bolts to replace the original rusted out pieces.
Ready for sanding.
Rasing panels for the replacement shutters. Fresh stuff from scratch made daiky.

It's been a while, yes we know. But our provider has finally caught up to 2010 and mobile updates to the blog are coming! In the meantime check out the new feeder.. Game changer for our shaoer from Steff/Maggi. It makes our millwork and moldings smooth and consistent..

....It's that time again! The nights get cooler, leaves start to turn.... No its not fall, well it is but that's not the point of this post.... Open Studios weekend is upon us! We have a number of great artists participating at the building this year.
