Working plan

The Wall

Its not a Pink Floyd project, but it is a wall for sure ... about 18 long and 8 high ... A couple little pieces and a touch up on the paint were all set ... This ones been going on for a while and at the end of the day yesterday, the shop seemed quite a bit bigger than it has for the past couple of weeks .... Ron and Jackie and Buddy (see the previous post) were on hand to pass out the beer at the end of the day ... Weve been working with them off and on since 1983 ... Well go back in and finish it up today .... It was a total room transformer ... Click the photos to enlarge them ....
This was a discussion drawing that shows the basic elements but not all the details. Some of the proportions and measurements changed after we got to this point, but rather than spend more time drawing went from here to full size layout sticks that we made on site. We have done all these elements in other pieces before so everyone is already familiar with the basics and detailed drawings werent necessary.
Taking shape in the shop ...
We managed to set it up temporarily in the shop to check everything and cut the crown molding in the shop .... If youre not a carpenter, on site crown work is a total pain .... We had to rent a 14 U-Hual, which was an incredibly good deal at $67. It all fit in there with space left over ...
Getting close ... Will and Jim attach the last piece of the shelves ...
Since the fireplace is 99% decorative, I made a few sketches for a fireplace screen that Sam will construct later .... Beutiful day ... Lake Paran Bluegrass Festival starts tonight and Wills band will be closing the show ... Set up for yet another Guild furniture show tomorrow ...
The power of paint .... heres a before shot early in the design process ...
