It’s not often featured here but the “Earth” in Wood Metal Earth does actually have reason. It takes place in many forms from digging for footings to native landscape guidance. Today it was clearing public trails -

Custom Window Stool. Often this is referred to as window sill but since this is on the interior, it is a stool not a sill. If you’re on a budget but want an upscale look, I think this is one of the best values there is. You save on not needing factory jamb extensions, it accommodates any wall thickness, and the weight gives visual balance.

These are milled from finger-jointed poplar at 1-1/16” thick. Once incorporated in the interior with casing, backband, apron, and bed moulding the look can’t be beat and the cost isn’t much different than a nice 4 sided window casing. Just a little extra attention to detail.
-
Our eyes are so trained to see common thicknesses, and we don’t even realize it. But when something is thicker or thinner, it is noticed. And when used correctly and with intention, this is a powerful design tool.

Credit to for the router table design. I built this one 14 years ago after leaving the school. I call it my job site shaper. It’s portable-ish for large/complex jobs and with the right motor it can accomplish most jobs I throw at it.

Saw my bags resting like this and had to take a photo. It may seem simple but this pic initiated so much reflection. This was our first full year in business full time. My first time in 10 years wearing the bags again. It was a year full of challenging fear and pushing forward. A year of growth, opportunity, and reward. I’ve grown as an individual and we’ve grown as a business finding our place in the world. As we settle down for the holidays I want to leave you with two thoughts.

You can do hard things.
-
Always remember who and why.

Merry Christmas from Wood Metal Earth!

Everything starts with layout…. When practical I like to layout full scale and I always avoid math if possible. The visualization brings it all to life. Here I realized I was two cuts away from missing a 5/16” reveal.

“Measure twice, cut once, but don’t measure at all if you don’t have to.”

Wrapping up the week by wrapping up all door casing, backband, and cased openings.

After the holidays it’s on to jamb extensions, custom milled stools, and making the windows pop 💥

The backband bandit strikes again dressing up this perfect combo. Tricky transitions add some fun when running 4,600 LF of casing.
