Clients’ Custom Projects
Walnut Blanket Chest with Aromatic Cedar Lining.
This beautiful chest was built as a donation to a local fire department for them to raise money at an auction. The amount of the winning bid was a blessing to the department and one of my favorite builds.
Closet Shelves and Shoe Cubbies
The closet of this beautiful home only had white MDF shelves installed and rods for hanging clothes. However, customer needed storage to accommodate her love for shoes. The solution was a 8:5 shoe cubbie to store individual pairs of shoes, slanted shelves for tall shoes, and straight shelves for shoe boxes.

The customer also features his initials lasered onto the inside cover, and his fraternal organization lasered onto the outside cover.

Each locker style section contains 5 adjustable shelves. An open section is included on the end cap as a way to offer immediate access to items, while concealing items from a frontal view.
Pantry Door with Frosted Glass
This pantry door defines a need for custom work. Customer was in process of renovating her kitchen. The original door was damaged and needed to be replaced. However, local department stores did not offer a door in the size that she needed. The solution was to build a door that matches her raised panel cabinet doors. Also, a frosted glass panel added elegance and creativity to her kitchen space.

Champaign Cart
Customer requested a champaign cart to be used as a rental for her business. A lot of hours went into the design and build of this cart. It features locking casters to keep the cart in place while not in use. An 1/8 inch thick piece of rubber on the carriage wheels decreases noise while rolling and protects the finish of the wheels. It has interior space for storage accessed via a side door with soft close hinges, and approximately 60 glasses can be hung on the underside of the hood.

Wooden Sonic the Hedgehog
This (gift) was made for a child who was visiting his grandmother (our neighbor). He came to our house to play with our son and was intrigued with my garage/shop.

This project was completed as a request from my wife. It features a fireplace insert that changes the brightness in 4 different modes, has 3 LED colors to illuminate the background, and it has a Low/Medium/High temperature setting.
