Due to illness in the family, I am not booking any more projects at this time. Caregiving is a full time occupation, and then some.

Thank you for your interest. - Jack Murphy

2/3rd scale white oak doors I fabricated for a kneewall closet. They match the style and species of the full sized doors in the house.

FULFILLMENT

by Frederick W. Branch

The man who built this house of mine
A hundred years ago
With Christian doors of smooth, clear pine
And chestnut timbers row on row,
Whose oxen hauled the brick and lime,
Who squared the hearths’s broad stone,
Could not foresee that Fate and Time
Would someday make it all my own.

Of course he knew that it would stay
Here, on its sturdy sills,
Long after his last Spring should lay
Her fragrant mornings on the hills.
So even if he did not know
Just who its owners were to be,
I’ll still maintain that, years ago,
He planned and built this house for me.

I've been a bit too busy to post any project pictures lately, but I can't not share this clip. I just installed this full extension bedslide, and the access it provides to my tool payload is incredible - especially welcome considering that the new F250 is a full 6" higher than my old F150 workhorse!

Side view of the floor nailing process. The pneumatic gun shoots a cleat just above the tongue, at a 45 degree, securing the maple strip to the subfloor while snugging up to its neighbor. A cleat is a specialized nail, made for this application only.
