its just nuts here but really im not complaining

 well .. what can i say?  its nuts here.  almost out of control ... but things are getting done.  two coffee tables left for new york city monday, and arrived yesterday.  the bookmatched cherry plank and steel table above, and the large (54 x 84) steel frame below. 
this one looks right at home
and this is a big one .. probably just under 300 pounds.  the stone (another +/- 500 pounds), will be cut and fitted in new york ...
 
specifications included :  " must support dancers" .. sounds like fun.
 
 it had a nice dark bronze patina and some decorative screw details in the top frame ..
 and weve got a pair of stools waiting for the final stain color approval.  theyll be upholstered by the designers workroom in massachusetts .. tougher than they look ...
 and were coming down the home stretch on the kitchen project.  its starting to look like the model.  were awaiting appliances and counter tops, which should be arriving sometime in the next few weeks.
 and there are other parts to that project too, like the +/- 8 x 8 painted vanity below.  we turned it over to the painters on site and will be reassembling it as it appears in the shop, as the counter tops and stone backsplashes arrive.
 
 there will be a mirror and some sconces in the big open space.  the horizontal shelf over the sink area is just for our convenience as we built it.
 and upstairs, theres a quartered oak vanity/shelf unit .. steel pipe supports on the end later.
 
 and downstairs, a barnboard vanity for the half bath.
the curved moldings in barn board are gonna be a trick  .. working on that tomorrow.
coming up, some living room shelves involving a barn beam from the renovation and a bunch of 3" thick torsion box shelves ... should be interesting.
 
 and a baby gate !! i havent made one for about 30 years now ...
 and i never made one that wasnt a piece of painted plywood with a poster on it ... this one is gonna look official!
and will, for the time being at least, has officially moved on to full time custom banjos and stringed instrument repairs.  hes been at it for a while now, and while i miss his input and production in the shop, im wishing him the very best of luck following his heart.  why wait .. start now.  see where it goes. 
and sams busy ... along with the railings he finished recently, above and below, he is coming down the home stretch on a major project at the local church downtown.  more on that later ...
jig for building the railings
 3 floors on this project ... fussy figuring ...
 
 and the metal shop doors and stairs are here, as is the slate,, below ...more progress soon.
and our friend rachel turned 70 last week.  big party last sunday.  people we havent seen in a long time.  we made her one of our garolite and zebra wood life event coasters.  kit said i should have made a dozen of them .  were gettin up there.
all for now
