There's a lot to share,

but we've got our hands full with other work. Here's a few quick bites from the shop. Instagram gives a visual history inside our workshop and at our workbenches.

80 year old blower! Original to the property. it's 6' tall and weighs probably 2000#. The impeller turns easily. Motor is missing. I want to see it operational again.

The middle building was built as a woodshop in the 40's. It replaced a wood s

It's a break-in! I don't understand thieves, they're willing to work so hard! This idiot used a rock and beat a hole in a concrete block wall...and then realized he's too high off the ground to get in so he quit. I ordered a #Simplisafe system whi

We're still #moving and still #renovating but I had to take a break and reflect on some pieces we've built recently. This desk was completed earlier in the year. The walnut base from an earlier post was for this piece, the stone is Cambria Annica.

A batch of walnut base trim for a reception desk in Atlanta. It was a fair amount of work... #walnut #woodworking #finish #receptiondesk #woodfinish

New shop is coming along. Busting out the bricked over windows to bring the sunlight back in. #preserveatl #workshop #oldbuildings

Dry fitting. Critical step even for the biggest pieces. We use a large workbench and screw stop blocks and spacers down to hold the various parts in place. For the type of finish we're putting on this, we have to start the finishing process before

Pressure washed ceiling vs previous. The new place is being prepped for setup. Most of it is cleaning, maintenance, and repairs. Flaking paint and grime creates a coating that is all of ugly, gross, dangerous, and aggravating. Aggravating because

Interesting Atlanta history! You're familiar with underground Atlanta (I assume)? During the Civil War Atlanta grew rapidly along with the railroads. They used the same grade throughout the city causing a nightmare of hundreds of rail & street

How cool is this conveyor!? It's antiquity is unclear, but #veryold and it still works! It makes a cool clinking sound when it runs. Could use some TLC tho. The ceiling is being pressure washed hence the mess. #oldbuilding #workshop #atl #oldmac

Apologies folks...but I never shared a finished shot of this desk. Here it is after 6 coats of oil, #waterlox. This wasn't the most exciting wood at first glance. With #urbantimber and #reclaimed materials you don't always get, or have access to,

New building, neat stuff. 515 Ralph David Abernathy was built as a woodworking and millwork production and sales center in the early 1900's. In the 1930's, an egg company moved in and installed this to slide packed crates to the shipping floor. As

The shop has a new home! The new building is a 100 year old brick and stone compound located in the West End. It's currently getting some TLC inside and out. We're planning on being fully installed by June 1st. Production will close down the last

Oiling. And oiling. And oiling. #custom #furnituredesign #customdesk #cool
