My first job in construction was as a helper on a crew framing a house in Utah. And my first task was to install joist hangers with a pneumatic palm nailer. After some very cursory instruction from the boss I was set loose. Within moments I had cut myself badly. Then smashed my thumb. I made it a day and a half at that job before they realized I was more green than they could deal with. But I stuck at it and 20 years later I’m still installing joist hangers. I’ve installed them a lot of ways but my favorite is still to have someone else do it! But using a good hammer isn’t a bad way to spend a bit of time on a beautiful afternoon.

Oak vanity I’ve been working on. The upper cabinet and the shelf below will be “floating” with more space between them than here on my work bench. They’re going to be sprayed black with a white quartz top. The black on the oak give a really cool effect as the grain still shows through. Stay tuned as this gets finished and installed…
