New Shop Space!
/Big things are happening over here, and I’m extremely grateful to all of you who helped make this possible. We’ve quadrupled our workshop space this month and are set up to finally bring all of our manufacturing operations off-site and in-house. What does this mean for our clients?
Shop-building as much of our work as possible to decrease the time we spend on-site in our customers’ homes.
Increased capacity to take on larger projects. We can now build (and store) much larger projects that we could previously. Now we’re equipped to take on things like an entire kitchen for instance.
Expanded milling capabilities. We have a moulder that is capable of cutting profiled trim up to 7” wide, both straight and curved parts. While it’s not a machine suitable for high volume milling, it’s more than adequate for milling entire houses worth of trim. This will be especially helpful for our historic home clients.
More veneering capabilities. We are starting to offer more veneer work using vacuum bag clamping. We are shop sawing thick hardwood veneers on our resawing bandsaw as well as laying up commercial veneers where applicable. For our clients this means better grain-matching, higher quality veneered faces, thick veneer countertops in species where solid isn’t cost-effective (white oak, walnut, exotics), and potentially taking on exterior entry doors using stave core construction.
