Sandpaper Review

Klingspor Abrasives The Most Sanding Power For Your Money! One of the first jobs I ever had as a kid was in Pop’s woodworking shop. I had two jobs-sweeping and sanding. Sweeping came pretty natural, much more than sanding did. One of my earliest memories is getting yelled at by Pop for turning a fine mantel top into [...]

How Not To Build A House

Bryan — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 22:28:49 +0000

I’ve got an idea! Build a house upside down, get a band, charge admission. Brilliant! Just look at the people lining up to get inside this thing. The video at the bottom of this post explains that the builder built this house to make a statement about the times in which we live. I think it [...]

Building a custom bar…..Page 6 If you’re going to spend the big bucks on a bar, it better have some custom moldings! No matter what kind of bar you’re building in order to have a true classic bar, you need to have some kind of moldings to finish off the details.

Building a Custom bar

Building a custom bar…..Page 5 Well, I spent the first part of the day redoing the damn arches I made earlier, I goofed! Even though I was using a story pole, it’s easy to make mistakes. My mistake was getting ahead of myself. I should have built the columns first (like I have so many times in the [...]

Jobsite Adventure

Bryan — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 14:08:32 +0000

Tamales for lunch Recently I was reminded of the old days when Pop and I were installing handrails and steps for a local Atlanta stair company , It was alright for a while, we learned all kinds of info on curved stairs, bending rails, installing iron balusters and newels post. Like I said, it was alright [...]

Tudor Style Interior

Bryan — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 14:38:58 +0000

Ever since Pop taught me how to read a measuring tape and to build a cabinet, I’ve been hooked on the various forms of architecture that have evolved over the centuries. From the five orders that have fashioned the aesthetics of building from the renaissance, to the mid evil and gothic designs of 15th [...]

Doors & Columns for the bar

Bryan — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 16:58:48 +0000

Building a custom bar…..Page 4 I didn’t get to the arches today like I had planned today. Pop always says write your plan down on a piece of paper and then throw it in the garbage. Because in this business things rarely work out as planned. Instead we worked on the raised panel doors and the columns [...]

Take A Break

Bryan — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:04:25 +0000

We can’t work all the time, so I decided take a break from woodworking and have a few laughs. Pop definitely does not endorse alcohol, sex, drugs, or rock n roll, but he does enjoy a good laugh! Post from: Woodworking Tips from Pop...

Arches

Bryan — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:37:20 +0000

Hello World Do cutting arches intimidate you? Maybe this post can help out. The ability to cut a true circle or segment arch is a huge part of building custom interiors. Just about every other bar or built-in that we build will have some type of arch of one form or another. Cutting arches used to be a [...]
