They Moved the Shower Head!

Often is the case that builders simply put the shower head too low for most people. When customers have their homes re-piped they will request the head be moved up. On acrylic tubs this leaves a big, ugly hole. No problem. With modern compounds and a little bit of effort I can make the hole disappear.

Southwestern Style Mantle

I used thick alder to create a mantle to complete a fireplace in a home in Beverly Hills. The clavos on the supports are actually steel balls set in under-sized holes.

Mantle

The new homeowners were left with an unfinished project from the previous owners. They had a vision of a simple mantle and mirror over their fireplace. I was happy to oblige them. I fabricated this in a few hours from some left-over alder and crown molding.

“Copied It From A Catalogue”

The customer loved this buffet when they saw it in the catalog; but soon realized it would not work in the place they wanted to put it. So we re-designed it and gave them what they wanted.

Black Entertainment Center

Last decade builders were all about putting niches in homes. I filled this one with a large cabinet for storage and a small flat screen TV. The center doors swing up and slide over the top of the screen to stay out of the way for viewing.

Barn Doors

The directors of a pre-school in Santa Monica commissioned me to build a pair of barn doors to be used as a room divider. They each measured about 6’ x 8’ and were tricky to fabricate in my small garage.  The day I needed more space for sanding them prior to finishing them it rained. Being on a tight schedule, I was forced to build a shelter using my truck rack and a large tarp attached to my garage door.
