ok! as i write this, it is april fool's day 2023 !
but as i post it, it is the 23rd of april 2023 ...
took me a minute to get back to this ... a little rainy and dreary today,
but as they say, april showers bring may flowers ...
hhere's Bowie checking out some snow drops by the shop on thursday.
you can still see some of the snow left over from the big dump
of about about 20"we got 2 weeks ago ...
it's mostly gone now, and it's raining today, with
highs predicted in the 50s and 60s for the upcoming
week ...where was i in my last chapter?
23 years ago ... a lot of furniture out the door since then.
a new shop begged for a tool upgrade: bigger jointer, bigger planer,
bigger bandsaw, and eventually a few years later a wide belt
sander, an upgraded edge sander, and a full size cnc.
the cnc turned out to be a game changer that allowed
the 2005, 2nd floor cnc install needs a slide show of it's own,
and i will get to that eventually.
in 2001, a long time employee (12 years) left the shop one day
and was killed in a car accident that evening ...
tribal knowledge ... lots of it ... gone in a flash!
it was a good time for building in our area, and i was able
to hire and train 3 new employees in the next two years
the four or five years after 2002 saw several major
new customers, and many exciting new pieces ...
here are a few updated spring shots now that the snow is completely gone!
the shadbush is blooming by the metal shop
and the golf course is open .. a little windy yesterday,
but beautiful and nice to be out!
many more photos to add soon!
