As the title says, I'm going to plop pics here of misc completed projects that don't fit into other categories of work that I do.

Completed bar top in a customer's rustic home.

Formica laminate with red oak bar edge.

Retail displays located at the New Jersey Acquarium.

Most of it is Wilsonart laminate with the trim moulding and edges being in hard maple with matching stain/conversion varnish finish.




Also, build the jewelry cases and the cabinetry and slatwall display behind the cases.

Some of the nesting tables I made for the Longaberger Basket Company. These are made of reclaimed "tobacco barn antique pine" from North Carolina. I wire brushed the wood, blew off the dust and rolled on a "frosted" paint finish.

You have been around a TABLE SAW or TWO! Those are some FINE projects!

Thanks all . . . and actually that should be three table saws. I have an Altendorf WA-8 for panels, a Delta Unisaw with right tilt and a Powermatic 66 for left tilt. More will be posted soon.

Good looking Chicago rail. Did you make it?

+1. I like it a lot too. I was wondering the same thing. Did you make it?

I made bar rail once . . . and I repeat ONCE. Never again. Too much time and sanding and time is money. Unless somebody wants something special I buy off the shelf from Frank Paxton Lumber Co in Cincinnati.

I'm not sure if those pictures inspire me or discourage me. That stuff is WAYYYYYY beyond my ability. Incredible.

It's always best to work off of a drawing and break things down into sub-assemblies when building something big. There is a process and you can either follow the process and build things efficiently or just go about it willy-nilly and be really inefficient. I learned alot about organization amd manufacturing when I used to run a 50 person business and oversaw pretty much everything except sales.
