12” joiner. Helical Head. Near mint condition. Some light rust. Less than 1 year old. 😂😬😥 . I had debated posting any more pics of the fire. Part of me didn’t want to put this type of thing on display. The other part of me, the part that won out figured it might do some good. . Our fire was ruled undetermined. Most likely something electrical but unfortunately not enough was left to pinpoint the exact cause. Regardless, hopefully the pics will cause some other makers to think twice when doing something that borders on unsafe or ill advised. Something as simple as a faulty plug or an oily rag or forgotten heater could quickly turn into a big problem. . After having worked in wood shops for the last 20 years I feel like I have a good handle on safety even if I am a little crazy eyed every now and then. 🤪 But this experience has certainly left me questioning every move we make in terms of safety. Be safe out there folks. . #safetystartswithyou #safetyfirst #shousugiban . @grizzlyindustrial @jet.woodworking @deltamachinery @besseytools_na
Up to our eyeballs in work over here. 👀 That’s good though. It’s the work that we love. . We are still making solid progress on all of the projects that were lost in the fire. @dandrewsbakery is nearing completion. Part here in the shop. Part at the finisher. Part at the powder coater. @thegrilledcheeserie is in progress. @westelm beam stools are getting knocked out. And @charnashville host stand is getting ready for the finisher. . It has been a long 3 weeks but I am proud of the progress that we have been able to make considering our less than ideal circumstances. We should have almost all of these items knocked out by the end of next week then we will move on to “post fire” projects. Up next @jackalopebrew new taproom, office furniture in downtown Nashville, HD Mirrors, furniture for a salon in Nashville, furniture for an artist residency in Knoxville and a few pieces for a new Chinese restaurant in downtown Nashville. Whew. I think that’s it. 😬 . #goodgolly #geewilikers . Tool Geeks....Also, we picked up some replacement machinery. The @boschtoolsna Miter Saw is cool but still getting used to it. I think I need to spend some time with it to get it dialed in. Our @jet.woodworking Drill Press and Bandsaw are great additions to the shop. The bandsaw is a huge improvement over the old jet that we had. 😍👌🏼 . Welp. This furniture ain’t gonna make itself. Gotta #quitscrewingaround and get back to. Happy Friday Y’all!
“We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!” . . The more I reflect on our fire the more that I am thankful and at peace with it. Yes, it sucks. Yes, we are heartbroken over it. Yes, it is a setback for us. But I feel uniquely equipped to take on this challenge. We have a TREMENDOUS support network of friends and family. We have insurance. We have a “backup” workspace. We had some of our old stationary woodworking machines still in place at the old shop. Many makers I know would not have these things to fall back on. Many makers would have to close their doors for good. . . I look around and all I see is new opportunities. An opportunity to build a new shop that is even better suited for our needs. An opportunity to re-evaluate our business focus and pivot accordingly. An opportunity to start with a clean slate. An opportunity to be better than before. . . Here’s to celebrating new opportunities just as our forefathers did on our Independence Day! 🍺🍺🇺🇸🇺🇸 Also, take a gander back at some of the projects we completed over the last year. 👀
It’s hot but we are knocking it out in the shop. Much thanks to @justinpollom and @iamsungik for being just crazy enough to work in this heat. Beam Stools headed to UPS. Tabletops headed to the finisher. Yay! B. T. Dubs. Any of y’all got a case of swamp thigh today. Might be time to track down some short @dickies 🤔 #tooblessedtobestressed #swampthing #woodtwerking
