Carpentry??

I recently received a call from a potential future Client (little did I know @ that time)! So, this bizarre "ask" of them was quite simply, "Is there anything You can do with this" ha-ha. After studying their this, I went back to My/Your neighborhood woodshop, & grabbed an afternoon tea, Sat too think about It a bit ........
After measuring some of My piles an idea came to Me! Checked my neighborhood Woodshop again, then made that ever important phone call to set-up that appointment too see them a 2nd time.  
As it turns out I'll be doing some Furniture repairing for an old drawer to fit the area, so it'll need some clever creative fixing/Repairing. 
Now comes in the E6000, the wood to plastic help I'll be requiring. Just way too cramped for this Carpenter, so any gun or even hammer won't work, ok, I'll shift this Carpenters gears a bit and makes Us All happy!
Wallah, ......... Next!!!
Thnx for the visit DIYer's!!

Your Towns Woodshop

This Areas Carpentry Shops is for You Folks, when  Furniture repair is on that Honey Do list, I understand that We all cannot or don't have this right at home, so bring Me what needs Altering, Cutting or plain old Repairing ....... Just ask Yourself or better half "How can He help Me/Us?" & I'll make it happen.
So, today's nieghbor just simply needed His tired chair seats reconstucted, so that's what this example above is: 
- Once the original was duplicated, it then became this Carpenters production line. To produce His existing outdated pattern for 5 more, here below:
its All good if it's made of Wood in My neighborhood!!!
When in doubt Try Craig's Clout!
Enjoy your Sunday, mannanna .......

Solve-Fab-Sustain 101

My next challenge was following another Tradesman that recently completed his contract. This could be a common Low Siding mistake or a whole wall application to be waterproofed, same as before, because here the flashing paper needs some serious methodical attention. This is a necessary (Elect. Panel) ext.wall protrusion, but it actually doesn't have bordered flange at the bottom.
Now, If the paper is laced & overlapped, weaved (old to new) exactly per code, it'll pass inspection & be perfect forever. A Carpenters custom crafty pair of in bay blocks will work as the foundation backing to do just that. Let's get too Waterproofing! If it's Wood it's All good!! The Carpenter Solved it Again & the neighbors gave their visual approval ......
Thnx for the visit once again & Have a nice forever Folks .........

Fixing Fried Skirts lol

          Hey there!! Let's start with; I'm very bless to have the privelage of "getting the call" first off and then to be able to help this young Gent. So, Him being this next assiting New HomeOwner Boss of mine this time, was a gem I got too work with. That ended up discounting His Final Cost for Him!
He was My Boss for His New Condos damaged stair skirt Job rebuild (image before below). With a bit of patience this turned out great, and turned thatinto this (next image), identically flipped to use for both sides. But the pattern needed lots of adjusting and (We lost Mr. Jiggy, he had to say goodbye!) IOW, the proper tool to use here. But the end results made it worth the sacrifice. A non-stop vision forward & Remain focused on Our Goals too fruition ......... Always!!So, until next time folks!
I'm the Carpenter with Clout and I'm Out, thanks for the Visit friends!

New device days

shrugged off the multi-family (rental) tailwind and thought if nothing else a Low-Siding redo is My forte, turns out He was very polite as well as a true gentleman over the phone. So I decided to further look into it.

This hand selected vertical Redwood Siding went from floor to ceiling, I like the striped spaced look between each of these 1×12's, that allowed a form artsy (NFT) quality that really brought out that "Wow" factor here, with tons of R.O.I. curb appeal. You can see here the existing window framework surround Made this Siding Job a fun challenge!
