Warm Days

A look at our block in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, on an uncharacteristically warm day in February.

The Gap

A sample we did for the Gap. If we had done the job it was somewhere in the hundreds that we would have built, for stores around the country. The logo was done with the router.

Mathieu Mirano

Fashion week in New York (February 2011) we did a set for designer Mathieu Mirano. These platforms were laminated in black, gold or silver formica, and trimmed with a palm router. A few of us went in on a Sunday to install, only to be asked to step aside while union workers assembled the set. Oh well. I still got my overtime :)

noted: we did not build the snake/dragon heads

Red Cabinet

Bought this cheap on craigslist, painted it, and put new knobs on!

Form and Function: Desk Edition

My first personal project: lil bookshelf. My desk (which is actually a door) was suspended between my dresser and a sawhorse, which A) was unsightly, and B) took up more space that it should, and C) was wobbly. This keeps my desk level and solid, accommodates the baseboard heater, and provides some much need desk storage!
