Nothing like building jigs for custom machining. Pocket door hardware. Not my favorite doors to work with. But they have to be done.

I absolutely love it when little Miss Ivy comes to work with me!
Taught her how to install door handles today, and then she attempted some for herself. What an awesome feeling it is when you teach your kids your trade secrets.

Can't wait to see these all painted up. We were asked to take a set of antique doors from an old building in the UK, and frame them to fit the master bedroom. Original hand blown glass and hardware I've never seen before. The history theses doors screamed as we worked on them was very cool to see.

This post is very close to my heart! Noel Betts was a fellow Finishing Carpenter Brother. This week he lost his battle of addiction.
I had the pleasure of working side by side with my friend Noel. He was a brother, a friend, a father, a husband and a Great Carpenter.
I encourage anyone who is dealing with addiction and or mental health issues to reach out! You are not alone and I ask that you reach out and ask for help!

Of course it would be the oldest carpenter's tool I have.... that would make the perfect antenna for the new shop radio

Always trying to come up with new ways of doing things. Not sure if anyone else is doing it this way. But those screw holes were getting under my skin.

Haven't had much time to post in a while as we've been trying to set some new wheels into motion.
Time to step it up! Out with the old, in with the new. Say hello to our new shop space. Should be pushing cabinets out in no time. Thank you to all the boys for helping move and set up new work stations.

Damn.....I feel like I've been hit by a truck today! 🤣🤣

02/12/2022

Would like to give a shout out to the for their quick response time this morning.
Walked into the shop this morning to deliver some apple fritters to my shop manager and in the corner of my ear I heard my truck start back up. I went running out to stop the punk who was starting to peal away with my truck and trailer. I did end up getting crushed against the fence and rolled up over the trailer fender. (I'm ok....just a little road rash up my legs.) But after a quick call to 911 the helicopter was out searching and within 30mins they had Onstar disable the truck and arrested the driver. No one was harmed but my knees.
Again....thank you to the Calgary Police for getting me my tools and my office on wheels back to me so fast.

When you send your wife to work for a 1hr job and then wonder why it takes her 3hrs......because 2hrs are for making tic toc videos.......
Love you babe. Thanks for helping out!

Absolutely love this fireplace!! Here are pics of the final results.
MDF panels in an assortment of sizes running up this 20' fireplace. Highlighted with a Brass shadow detail. And to top it all off...White Oak Shiplap Paneling at the top.

11/17/2021

Well this one took us a while. Casing and Baseboards flush with drywall with a continuous shadow detail. We started these doors while still in framing stage. Came out looking pretty good I'd say.

What a cool "little" project this was! Customer decided to buy a sauna kit and had us modify a small storage room into their personal sauna. All the materials we needed were sent to site and we cut to fit this unit together. Couple little modifications and a trip to the Cedar Shop to get this unit put together. Frosted glass panel still to come above door way.
Love it!

Another set of beams under wrap. White oak beams.... 26' high to the Ridge Beam. Had to rent larger scaffolding for this one.

A service we provide before possession day. We always visit possession week to install the final handles and code all the locks together.
Got to sneak through the house and snap some really nice pics. Thanks for including your designers touch for some nice pics.

What a beautiful Master Closet. Loads of drawers and storage shelves for all those shoes and purses. Because guys, let's admit it....the wife is going to fill this room right up!

Kicking it old school. Going back to the traditional look. Here's just a little peek at 80+ feet of wall paneling we did a few weeks back.
