Around the Shop

 Here are some pictures I have taken while working around the shop on different projects.  I posted them because I think they are cool.  That is what a blog is for, right?

All glue, biscuits and clamps.  No fasteners.  This is a shelf for a friend
made out of douglas fir I found in an old barn.

This is a 100 year old piece of pine furniture I converted into
a vanity for a client.  Cutting into that was stressful!  When I
was done, both drawers were still operational.  See finished
pics at our website: http://jovickbuilt.com/MoradaGuestCottage.htm

I used a piece of purple heart to make a spline joint in this cherry framed glass door.  I love spline joints, they are easy and look sharp.

3hp, 18" Jet bandsaw set up to rip 5/4" cedar in half.  There is kind of a soft lighting thing going on in this picture.  Follow this link to see the privacy screen we made with the cedar: http://jovickbuilt.com/project3.htm

Cool shot of a dado.  After several rips with my
skill saw, I use a chisel to finish it off.

Finished dado. This is kiln
dried cedar, very $$.  I only use the best on my projects.

The shop is where a carpenter wants to be.  Usually we are
there making beautiful pieces for our clients.  Someday
we will retire, and make them for free for our families!

The boys are dusty and deserve a new case.  I never use a metal hammer on my chisels!

This is not at the shop.  But I love the picture and how the shadows work with the madrone floor we installed.
I love what we do and hope it shows in our finished products.  Nothing makes me happier than the smile on a clients face.
