The other day Tod and I took a large whiteboard down to make some more pinning surfaces. The whiteboard is a really nice one so we did not want to toss it but we where a little unsure of what to do with it. I figured we could use more work surfaces so I decided to turn it into a writeable desk. Looks really good but is huge and weighs a ton so the final assembly wont happen till most of the stuff is out of the room and walls are done.

So I made a dumb mistake last week in my painting of the cabinet doors. It was really one of those mistakes I am glad I made because I know I will never do it twice. To keep things clean while I painted, I laid some paper on the floor underneath the doors. When I panted the edges of the doors I inadvertently glues the doors to the paper. When I came in the next day I was pulling paper off the doors and leaving behind bits. Then spent the next hour scraping off the paper.
Doors guled to the paper
Well at lest I made it now and wont do agin. Better now then at a job. In the End I got the second coat of paint on, need to do another coat then assembly.
The doors with bits on them before I scraped them all down

Quick one today. We are working on a modular storage system for the studio. Our new studio was many different things in its life so the walls are weird and odd shapes. It will probably be something different later, so the space needs to be flexible. Our system will be built from three box sizes, that be stacked on top of each other The biggest shelf/box is designed to hold the "standard" tool box that students use. The other two sizes are just half and quarter size of the largest box. Right after I post this I am will be working on the Soildworks model to figure out the consecution method. Most of the parts on the CNC so anyone in the future can make more boxes as needed.
Also I am panting and assembling the cabinet doors this week. I will get the pics of the finished doors up by early next week.
