Well, I'm really enjoying getting to know you guys on this excellent forum and now that you've seen my shop, it's about time I proved I actually do some work there!
I got into cabinetmaking from owning a pine furniture store for many years and starting to make the specials and custom pieces that I couldn't source from my usual suppliers. Pieces like these:
A few years ago, however, the trade in pine took a real nosedive and so I ditched the store (and a lot of overhead) and moved into my present shop. I still work with pine but have got more and more into hardwoods and painted MDF kitchens. Here are a few recent efforts:
This was quite a challenge for my first project in oak. It's a bit harder than pine, isn't it?!
A lot of my work is now painted kitchen furniture like this dresser in poplar and maple.
An early oak project was this 12' run of glazed bookcases
This maple kitchen is a particular favourite of mine
Well, that's the kind of thing I do. Please be gentle with me!
Cheers
Brad
