I love this credenza piece from one of our best customers. Walnut and resin.

I would love to see more of that. That is incredible.

Wow!

I hope there is some backing wood reinforcing all that diagonal grain.

Yeah, those guys put out some truly special pieces. You can find them on pretty much all social media @thenorthernjoinery. I believe they post the most pictures on Instagram.

On this project I was both the sawyer and the customer:

Planed/edged these 1X6's down to 7/8 X 5 Wednesday. Then this morning 6 of us built a ramp at the church to eliminate a step.

That is a 4' flat and then 7' slope toward the boxes that are holding the last board down until the Liquid Nails sets.

And then it extends 9 more feet to the existing stairs. The joist are 2X6's on 12" centers. Carpet will be placed over this.

We have had one person to trip and fall thankfully without any injury. This should take care of the problem for the future.

Not fancy finished work but I am real proud of the timber frame barn this customer made from the posts and beams we cut over the last year.

That looks amazing. Out of curiosity what is the process of mounting timbers on top of those cement piers? From here they just look like cement blocks but the picture is small, and hard to tell. Or do my eyes deceive me?

I finished the project at the church that I started on the 21st to eliminate a step and make the hallway wheelchair available.

See Reply #465 above.

I finished laying the 2X2 carpet squares today and these old bones are dog tired.

I have to put the shoe molding down and raise the door headers 7" and reinstall the door casings/facings so not much left to do..

So if Magic Man installed it, that makes it... "Magic Carpet"?

Magicman · « **Reply #469 on:** January 29, 2023, 01:50:12 PM »

Actually the magic was the last square that went down. I sailed off to bed about 8:30 last evening and my butt muscles were a bit sore this morning.

My plan is to go back Tuesday and install the shoe molding and thresholds.

Well done, good and faithful servant!!!!!

Magicman · « **Reply #471 on:** February 01, 2023, 02:08:42 PM »

My contribution is finished. All of the baseboards, shoe molding, thresholds, and doors are completed.

There is one more item left to do which is a handrail but someone else volunteered to do that.

doc henderson · « **Reply #472 on:** February 01, 2023, 02:24:16 PM »

looks great, inviting, and well done.

Most of the pictures here are woodworking projects or crafts. I am proud to post some the lumber I sawed in use by a many time repeat sawing and sales customer to build a 3 BR addition on his cabin/home here in WV. What we finished sawing today is earmarked for more work here.

This white pine siding I sawed off one big pine here on my place. I sold him 1060 sf of mostly 1/2" X 8" assorted (mostly 12') lengths. He has completely sided the addition of a 3 br/1 Ba addition.

Here are 3 ancient American chestnut beams I resawed a week ago for this customer. His buddy was up from Orlando FL area helping him hang the drywall and such and they needed the beams for immediate use so they brought them over and I resawed them to 7" X 8.5" 15' beams. These will be used to support a sleeping loft the customer figures will be a big hit for visiting grandkids. I sawed stairwell runners for the ladder yesterday and today out of the customers logs.

EDIT/ADD-ON: BTW I asked the customer how he got the beams in place and he said he hooked a chain fall to the brace above and used it to lift them He said they were too heavy for him and his buddy to lift, hold and work with otherwise.

These 4" X 8" tulip poplar crosspieces/braces (I don't the proper term for them) are some I sawed and sold this customer a year or so back. (I had forgotten about sawing them but they sure look nice!).

I don't know about the rest of you but I felt like a new parent seeing my workmanship being used for a forever home for a customer and as an attraction for his kids and grandkids to come visit. He told me yesterday he had to make a video of me sawing the lumber as his 3 y/o grandson wanted to see how it was done.
