Entry Closet Project #8: The End is Here!

That is amazing work Todd! I would never have imagined that so much work could be put into a closet. You documentation of this project has been incredible and I know that myself, and many more here at LJs have learned an immense amount. Thanks for taking the time to post all of this for us.

Thanks for letting me ride along on this project. I’d say stop by on your way thru Indiana but that wife of yours is much more important than I. Have a safe trip back Todd!

Wow – what a closet. Having the money to buy the best talent around must be wonderful. Good job Todd.

Slick! I’m so pleased that this monumental effort is done and you’ll be home soon. We should arm-twist someone at Fine Homebuilding into a feature. You should consider writing this up. Here’s a link. Perhaps Brother Spagnuolo would have some insights.

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

It’s been a long and fun journey, thanks for taking us along. The results are awesome…it proves that anything worth doing – is worth doing right.

This project has knocked my socks off all the way through. I can’t say enough about your level of craftsmanship and commitment to perfection. You da man Todd.

-- Maplewood, MN

Beatiful work. The craftsmanship is topnotch. A pure work of art. Have a safe trip home and enjoy your family.

-- If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a darn fool about it.

“welcome home” (I’m hoping that you aren’t logging on again until you’ve spent some time with your family)

Amazing journey. What’s your estimate as to how many hours went into this?

Add my wow and awesome to the list of humbled woodworkers who stand in amazement of your skill. and another thank you for letting us be part of the process.

Todd there just aren’t adjectives big enough to describe the job you did. A gorgeous work of art. Now go home and get some rest :>)

-- Jim Hallada, Chesterfield, VA

glad to see that craftsmanship is not dead

What can I say Todd?. That is exceptional.

Stunning project. I have been watching the whole process as well. You are not only a fine craftsman, but a clear and patient teacher. Thank you for sharing your creative genius.

Congratulations, Todd! I hope you get in some quality time with your wife and the pups. The blog has been a great inspiration.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

I can’t believe you had to mask and spray the thing in the house to fix a scratch? Wow what a pain..but thats great that it worked out. I would have been terrified of the finish sagging. Pre catalyzed lacquer is great to work with ..sets up and drys FAST!. Nice job on that work of art ..aka “closet”. Now go home and take some time off!

-- Women love me.....trees fear me

Drive safe…thanks for taking us along.

I’ve been away for a bit and this was one of the first things I went looking for. Last thing I remember you were dyeing the doors. This is an amazing piece of work Todd.
