Coffee Cart

Project by joey posted 620 days ago 384 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a coffee cart I build for a lady who was starting a coffee business in the community college I went to. I was working in library and she needed help searching prices on the internet for a coffee cart, all the one that were offered were very expensive, and didn’t fit her needs, so I gave her same names of some cabinetmakers I knew, but they were all to busy or didn’t want to mess with it, but a couple asked why she didn’t get me to do it. at the time all my tools were in storage, and I had no plans on doing woodworking again. I just got though two operations on my back and was convinced in my mind my career as a woodworker was behind me. but she talked me into it so I build this cabinet and a smaller one for her. and my never did go back in storage.

Joey,

This is a nice build. I am sure that you saved her some money on the cabinet and you got back into woodworking. Seems like a winning situation for everyone.

Thanks for the story.

Thats was in 2001 when BVR was sending back to school for computer networking because of an accident that hurt my back, I had two surgeries and they they told me I couldn’t do carpentry or woodworking any more. that I shouldn’t lift over 15lbs or be on my feet for more than 30 minutes at a time, well, they also told me they would be 50,000 computer jobs in my area, they were wrong on all accounts…lol
I got a better doctor, I do yoga, walk, trained with weights, and still trying to loose the weight that six moths of being stuck in a bed as put on me. All in all I think I am doing ok I feel strong and healthy, I don’t thing I could work full time for a company now thats why I’m working so hard to start my own company again, and do it right this time. I have bad days with my back, not as many as I use too, but going back to doing woodworking is what pulled me out of the depression I believe and it is still my passion. I can’t imagine doing anything else. thanks for all the kind words it really means a lot coming from people who’s talent and opinion I hold in high regard.

Joey, I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I know it must have been hard physcally to do the project but I can’t help but think that you are now better off. My Dad use to tell me to never lose hope, You’ve done done a good deed and the benifits will pay off in the long run. You did a great job on the project. God Bless. Eddie.
