Had fun this week and bit laying the floor and putting in these stairs. A real nice improvement from before. #wood #finishcarpentry #makita #handrail #maple #stairs #stain #newelpost #floor #flooring #design #renovation #upgrade #woodworking #custom #woodshop #cabinetmaker #joiner #joinery #balusters

Thank you to https://www.facebook.com/theoldcitystationpub/ For the opportunity to help out in your pub. This was a very fun project. All cherry wood with stain and lacquer. This was fun to design, manufacture, stain, lacquer and install. From start to finish I was scratching my head, but I love a good challenge and am pretty happy with the outcome. Word of mouth does wonders so like and share... Thank you https://www.facebook.com/jesse.reardon.101 for the pictures. You're a good man.

Lacquering the front of this desk. The sound is weird though. My gun doesn't sputter like it sounds. Some might say my spray technique is wrong. Maybe. But it works for me and I'm happy with the way it turns out. I love the colour change and watching the grain of the wood POP! It's so beautiful.

Love a sharp plane and making shavings

New router table in the works. I've been trying to balance between an outfeed support table for the table saw and have a router table. I think this will be able to balance both nicely. Now I should be able to start making shaker panel doors and custom trim. The fences and stops are fully adjustable to whatever situation I may need to accommodate. I will be making future tweaks and modifications as needed but this is a good start. Now I have to make a cabinet base for it to store jigs, stops, and router bits. Also needed is a dust collection port.

Here's a pony wall for a DJ booth that I'm building.

A new upgrade to the shop. This thing is a beauty. It has a chip blower on it that's so powerful I don't need to have the dust collector on, it pushes the chips through the 10' hose right into the dust collector bag! 2 speeds, the slow speed putting down a flawless finish. This will help me up my woodworking game for sure! My next tool will be a jointer.

Barn doors are something that I do and very much in style right now.

I like stuff like this. A little bit of a challenge but a really cool looking handrail was provided.

Had fun installing these kitchens last week. These client was happy and they turned out great.

I had a lot of fun building this custom mantle for a client. Made of white oak veneer with an antique oak stain. @ Ladysmith, British Columbia

Made a couple of privacy screens for a client. I had to match the existing ones that we did over a year ago. I forgot how terrible this ground was to dig. It's all blast rock, it took 3 hours to dig four holes

Fun little project this week. This sun shade had some little aluminum post and beams that the clients were tired of looking at. I was able to clad the posts and beams in cedar giving it a more structural and beefy appearance. There is a box on the end with an aluminum trough inside for rain catching.
