We tackled Stephan's media center a few months ago and from there, we began to do more — and more. From the initial media center to a console table, a coffee table, and a set of brutalist shelves, the projects have been both varied and fun. Stephan is a musician... Continue reading

Eko needed a DCM repaired. The chair had seem some damage from movers — and a previous dodgy repair which left the chair's back with chips, scratches and some glue residue that marred the overall finish. We installed new shock mounts, repaired the damage on the back, gave a light... Continue reading

Karen commissioned these a while ago and has been very patient while project after project snuck into the workshop ahead of these ... but with the never-before installed drawers, I warned her that it might take a while before I felt they were "just right" (and she probably forgot my...

[file under: watch this space] ... We contracted with Blue Champagne Pools earlier in the summer (Mid-April) for a pool build — It's Labor Day and we're still finishing off a few things here and there. Needless to say, 45... Continue reading

In a recent renovation, I kind of* invented something: the $5 house jack. Using two pieces of material — in this case: composite decking (with good compressive strength) — and some common hardware, we were able to lift the beam... Continue reading

As a builder, every time I pick up a hammer, I realize something that I got wrong as a designer... By day, I spend my time as a designer and design-educator dreaming up new ways to solve visual problems with... Continue reading

Stephan is a good friend of Mary and called me about a few projects for his beautiful Victorian restoration in San Francisco's Mission District. Typically modern/minimal furniture can be an odd fit for a Victorian home, but a just a few steps into his home, you get the idea: "high-meets-low"... Continue reading

This morning at 6:59AM, Happy Valley vendor started the day with honking. Like a lot of things, it gets better — then worse. For the past few months, it's been getting worse. https://video.nest.com/clip/dbc9b0c757c84260aa7749e6b4900b17.mp4 I spoke to the driver who was somewhat understanding, but unaware that what he was doing was...

Today, the city-funded pickup van (County Connection) performed an awkward multi-point turn and proceeded to back up 1000 feet (from 4166 to 4106) down Phoenix St. ... a stupid and dangerous maneuver that put the clients/patients in the van — as well as neighbors — at risk. https://video.nest.com/clip/bb92313209104d6fb466cc0ee4887380.mp4 https://video.nest.com/clip/9bafcdd326c1465eaadc38f3e8c22f9a.mp4 (listen...

Not uncommon... A van pulls up and honks I ask "Please don't honk — it's disruptive and it's actually against the law" The driver gets rude ... Today was no different. https://video.nest.com/clip/dfc5c8fc0cb74aa79187aacfddf8f363.mp4 Continue reading

Instead of pulling up 20 feet to the curb, the drivers generally block a lane of traffic endangering clients/patients and neighbors alike. (This is also the same honking van from the day before) https://video.nest.com/clip/11a71182cb6b4f70bb43c326ede4d44a.mp4 Continue reading
