Recently H&J Kerkhof have moved to a larger facility to continue manufacturing furniture components for the Vancouver area. This is a video that shows the new space and a short video about the old shop and how the move to the new shop happened. Submitted for the shop tour challange.

Nice spread! Great shop tour. Well built shop! Liked your moving day and sled idea. I just got a little bit dizzy on the move, that’s all….Get ‘er done!

Herman -
I love Canada! What an awesome tour inside a commercial shop. Congrats on the new space. I really enjoyed the plywood sled and your ending. I have been through the Fraiser Valley – very beautiful.

Great video, Herman. From what I could see, it looks like you and your father make some nice chairs. I’m not so sure of the safety involved with driving and video taping, but it was fun to watch.

great tour – I can’t imagine the feelings you must have gone through as the upcoming move approached. That’s a lot of “transition”.
and of course it couldn’t happen without Timmies.
