Transition Time

Being in between projects can be quite a frenzy. What do I do next? What can I fit in before the next project? I'm caught trying to wrap up  loose ends, prepping for the next big project or maybe even throw in a project that has been on the back burner for a while. This time of year I'm trying to fit in cutting firewood... better late than never. Luckily I have trees to cut that fell last winter so the limbs are fairly dry. Yesterday I finally cleaned up tree limbs that squashed a fence last winter. I also built simple French style doors held together with copper nails and roves for a client that hasn't been in a rush for them.



In the shop I just completed a bathroom vanity for R + T and also one for the yellow house. I had to send hinges back for replacement for our vanity but R + T's is ready to install. I'll be building closet doors next, three for R + L and four for the yellow house. I'm waiting on design approval before I begin. I ended up glueing up a redwood top for our vanity instead of using the cypress top that I already made. I just don't like the look of the cypress top, so we'll see if the redwood top is any better.

I'm at the drawing table now designing an L shaped closet. I'll be redrawing our closet doors now that I have the material. The new door design will incorporate the dimensions of the material at hand. Working at the drawing table means I can listen to Pandora. Time to get to work.
