A wall but not a wall

I had a request from a customer to build a wall but no really a wall. He wanted something that made little inpack in the house and would not require studs, and drywall, and sanding, and painting, and all the mess that goes with the above.
The solution was to construct a panelized wall that I could completely finish in the shop and in one day install it at the job site and whala!!! instant wall.

Picture
The most important aspect of this project was taking accurate feild measurments.
The Floor slopes, the walls aren't plum or striaght, and the roof (ceiling) has a sag in it, what fun!
For this type of situation I use a small laser level that will cast perfectly vertical and horizontal lines, I use these lines s reference lines and take measurements from certian critical points to these lines . Then I can recreate these points in a CAD drawing and make my parts using My CAD drawing as a guide.

So here is the finished product, It looks as though it was always there. No Muss No fuss.
6 hours on the job site, clean and no wet paint.

Everything packed and ready to travel, luckely  we didn't need to travel far, about 45 mins.
(Sorry the picture is so cloudy I had some dust on the lens.)

Picture
Had to make sure we brought the heavy equipment.
You never know what you'll run into.

Then after alittle of this and a little of that we were ready to show off.
The show was located at the Omni Mount Washington hotel in Bretton Woods NH.
 We had the pleasure of spending the Night at the hotel the Night before the show, Good thing the exibition hall was total chaos the morning of the show.
     I was pleased with the exposure we received and I was able to make lots of good contacts. we'll see what happens the next few months.
      I'd like to thank my sales staff Kim (my lovely wife ) & Alex (our son) and all the support from family & freinds.
P.S. Note for future shows, If you want to win best of show give away samples of alcohol.
    We did a drawing for 3 chances to win a one square foot custom, personalized sign.
     needless to say we didn't win best of show  :(

I'll "Flat" ter You!

One of the most difficult things to accomplish is to perfectly flatten Large pieces.
You can run these thru a planner or a wide belt sander but they will still have some shape to them. They will be smooth but they will not be Flat. If they are bowed or twisted they will still be bowed and twisted.
    The CNC is the perfect tool for this process. I can take a piece as large as 50"     X  101" and up to 6 " thick and surface the two sides and It will be perfectly flat and the same thickness throughout.

    I've pretty much had my hands on wood for the most part of my Life. Started in High school, on Marthas Vineyard Mass.Worked under a Father and son Partnership that taught me the valuable foundation of what High End work really is.
    I've taken those fundimentals and put my own spin on things. Today (some 36 years ago as I write this )My shop is located in Northern New Hampshire, where I have followed my philosophy of doing high quality work and delivering more than the
    customer expects.
