My Client wanted help pouring a pad for his shed. He had done all the prep work, building the forms and laying rebar.

 

After the pour I brushed and edged the concrete

 

The next day. Removed forums and cleaned up the site. Finished product.

Before and after with Seafin.

I build a handrail for a client out of a 2×6 10′. upon finishing project it was decided that white was not a good color.

Hard to see in the picture but I routed a finger groove on the back side of the rail.

After the decision to change the color. I uninstalled the rail and ran it through the surface planer, re-sanded, and found a custom stain to somewhat match the floor.

Here is the final product.

 

After bending my axle on some pot holes on the awful roads around the island I decided to do a lift. The axle bottomed out on the frame sending a shock to the spindle, causing it to bend. The trailer can hold a maximum of 1,990 lbs of cargo. I only have 1,200 lbs of cargo. So in theory this should have never happened.

I decided to increase my axle’s travel an inch to avoid bending the axle again. Next I am planning on adding shock absorbers and  bump stop’s to avoid this problem in the future.

Here is a before and after

fabricating new shackles

Pressing the bolts into the new shackles

Painted and installed.

Here is a desk I made from the Customers rough sketch. It’s a solid oak desk minus the top which is engineered plywood. But it’s hard to tell.

This is a 10×14 raft I made in May of 2013. Made cheep as possible. Raft was disassembled September 29th

Before and after. Cleaning paint off the glass for a messy painter.
