These picture framing clamps work great on this large crown moulding.
That's glue squeezing out from the pressure of the clamps....wiped clean right away of course. They leave a very tiny hole to fill after removal.

Started to fabricate four 10' high columns for the great room. Customer wants them to match the newel post.
I'm working back at my shop....gets a little cluttered at times.

Customer was very happy with how the columns came out.
They asked me to try and match the newel post we used on the stairs.
I like them too...... about 40 hrs. of my labor to build and install the four of them.
I take a lot of pictures now because it is very likely that after next week I will never be in that house again.

Thanks.....The boat is ready to go...the weather looks to be improving...so might be getting out there this coming week.
You have an Onslow Bay right?..Serious fishing machine!! See you out there soon.

Next house wont be ready for finish for a week or so. Boss asked me to build some Lantern Posts, seven in all, for some houses we are building in Dover. Lantern fixture will be mounted on top. They are 7' tall, made of all PVC.
Still need to make bases and caps for these. Personally not my taste....but it keeps me busy in my (very cluttered) shop.

They are going to need a pretty big lantern fixture on top of these to look proportional. The pvc is easy to work with. Nice to know these wont be rotting away like wood does.
Tops are removable to do electrical connections.

Really?

A good friend who builds custom kitchens from scratch...just told me that this factory cherry kitchen that I installed just a few years ago, was rejected by the new owners of the home. He removed all of it and installed his new custom job of $30,000 worth of just the cabinets.
Painted cabinets... the new norm ....for now.
I just think it was a shame. He said he would send me a few pics of the new one.

Some people just have more money than sense....
