My Current Job

[Leon]

Hi!

My current job is all but delivered. A customer wanted me to convert their built-in cabinet and book shelves into an entertainment center.

Stage 1. Adding walnut panels and hanging the TV.

Next step is to deliver the balance of the job.

As I have previously mentioned, I have a Shaper Origin and here is the lay out for the fabric grill reinforcements being cut out of 1/2" Baltic birch.

CNC work completed.

Reinforcements cut apart.

Reinforcements test fit.

The reinforcements and fabric installed in the electronics garage doors. This unit will be placed under the TV and on top of the lower cabinet in the top picture.

The lower cabinet doors.

Excellent work. Did it pay for the Shaper? ;-)

Will the TV cables eventually be hidden?

Good job, as usual.

How about a pic of that quilt on back of the love seat, also!

Thank you. Did it pay for the Shaper? No. But it probably saved me a days work. So that could equate to several hundred dollars. The Work that I did with the Shaper saved me from cutting 35 pieces of wood, cutting 108 Domino mortises, 54 joints, and gluing up all those pieces into 7 frames.

About 6~7 years ago I did this for our entertainment center but with only 3 doors and the frames were not much fun and very time consuming. The pieces were/are 1/2" thick and at the most 1" wide, several 1/2" wide.

Yes. The cable you see in the picture will simply be routed behind the walnut panel. The walnut panel is floating 3/4" out from the wall. It is hung by a 60" long french cleat near the top and 2, 24" long cleats near the bottom on each side. This bottom cleats have a separation of about 10" in the center to make an opening behind the walnut panel for the cables to drop down through. From there the cables will enter into the back of the garage. The electronics garage will be taller than the bottom of the walnut panel.

Thank you.

And one she recently finished.

Fantastic! My sisters would love those quilts, as well.

Hmmm...We may have found someone more talented than you. (and you can tell her I said that)

[Leon]

We hear that all the time. ;~) I take credit for giving her a class certificate, as present, to learn quilting about 20 years ago. And talking her into buying the expensive equipment. We have invested more in her machines than mine.

I'll tell her!

If mama ain't happy . . . .

I know this is completely off topic. I do a lot of genealogy, and have looked at many Deeds. There is one clause in most deed that goes back to English Common law. In many deeds, the wife has to agree to the sale of the property. In some older deeds, it actually states that they took the wife to a different room to get her approval. I have always considered it the "If mama ain't happy" clause

[Leon]

She "was" happy, now, much happier with the equipment!!! .~)
