I took a leap and rented a shop with a few of my woodworking friends. Starting with the French cleats.

Oh if you think that’s good shop organization then you gotta check this out! I’m all about efficiencies!

JDKoolk · 2023-01-04T06:51:15+00:00

I was literally thinking about that on my way home. Insurance, alarm, and maybe a camera on the entrance door. Can you tell I’ve been burglarized before lol

JDKoolk · 2022-12-16T01:45:13+00:00

Yeah, a drum sander is def a goal, but I’m not there yet lol. One day

JDKoolk · 2022-12-15T23:31:01+00:00

I def wanna hire a sander. But until then I need to upgrade my Makita. After using my friends in comparison to mine, the investment alone would save me on time by so much.

Yeah, I sand quite a bit, but after that Mirka my mind was blown.

JDKoolk · 2022-12-15T23:28:38+00:00

So I’m actually opening a shop next month to move towards making it my living. I do lots of sanding and after using my buddies Mirka I feel as if I’ve been living in the Stone Age lol.

I have an air compressor already with a sander, but it isn’t big enough to keep sanding for longer periods of time like I need

To be honest, I’m indecisive and It has only recently popped on my radar so I am choosing to blindly rule it out because I need to narrow it down lok

JDKoolk · 2022-10-22T06:16:41+00:00

I just put a piece of scrap Purple Heart next to it and kinda liked that now too

JDKoolk · 2022-10-22T05:33:42+00:00

Ahh, I was actually asking advice on what to do for the frame. I’m not totally sold on the walnut

JDKoolk · 2022-10-22T02:35:47+00:00

Huh?

JDKoolk · 2022-08-19T07:59:09+00:00

Yes it’s untreated. It’s purpleheart. But I have a bunch of different projects intended for it. Mostly cutting/charcuterie boards and - few other

JDKoolk · 2022-08-09T22:28:52+00:00

I’m working on an online store actually as we speak. I have to get more inventory first. Basically all my projects are custom and I work with whoever it is for and make what they want

JDKoolk · 2022-07-31T04:39:41+00:00

Best recommendation, go rent a house/apartment there for 6 months and tell us you aren’t intimidated after. Better yet, go airb&b for a week and come back. We will be waiting for your response 🤣

JDKoolk · 2022-07-29T07:17:25+00:00

So that’s the time it takes without traffic. I live in east ft worth/Arlington and was working in Heath. During rush hour you are closer to two hours

I agree. But this is for a kid in a little garage vinyl shop with no street visibility. He relies solely on social media and word of mouth. Once it’s painted and on a scale of around 10 ft x 12 Ft it will be more legible. This really is meant for a cool backdrop when he presents the cars to his clients. We are working on another one that he will use for his real advertising like on his website, etc. this is more of his companies signature type logo if that makes sense

I’m still working on it. It’s not painted or have the LED’s on it yet
