Reclaiming The McEwens LLC

We got some shop work completed and followed it up on site today to install the more complex section. Several pieces came together fairly nicely considering the imperfections in the old structure. We have a stained seat area planned here as well which is getting wrapped up tonight. . . . #reclaimingthemcewens #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #dowhatyoulove #shoptime #maker #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #makers #thelab #woodshop #woodcraft #custom #craftsmen #bespoke #custommade #customcabinets #shaker #mudroom #thisoldhouse

We are finally installing the cabs on the biggest cab job to date. We did the upper section first so that we got the best measurements for this portion. So far everything is going in great! We are still painting the doors but everthing is built! Getting closer and closer! . I dont always stop to appreciate how far I've come. My home team is my strength! My wife has been the driving force behind everything you see. She has cheered me on while at times struggling to begin to kn...ow what I'm even doing. She has had to endure me at my worst. She has allowed me to explore new challenges and rarely ever questioned "shop purchases". She has made a man's dream come true and helped me Reclaim the life we deserve. Thanks Honey! Love ya! . . . #reclaimingthemcewens #thatdamnwhitebarn #dreams #wivesofwoodworking @those2mcewengirls . . . #reclaimingthemcewens #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #dowhatyoulove #shoptime #maker #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #makers #thelab #woodshop #woodcraft #custom #craftsmen #bespoke #custommade #customcabinets #shaker #mudroom #thisoldhouse #builtins See more

The doors are ready for paint! Prime time! I've had my Dad working these things for 2 days sanding and drilling. I'm super proud to have the opportunity to work together with my father in this way! We have grown so much closer over the past several years. We have seen the worst of each other and the best. We are still strengthening a bond that becomes more valuable everyday. I'm grateful I've had this time with him.

Doors.... lots of doors! Gotta trim and sand the joints a little here and there before assembly. Sure excited about the new door style and cant wait til all of this comes together! All we like is these doors and all the prefab will be completed! . . . #reclaimingthemcewens #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #dowhatyoulove #shoptime #maker #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #makers #thelab #woodshop #woodcraft #custom #craftsmen #bespoke #custommade #customcabinets #shaker #mudroom #thisoldhouse #workingwithdad #familybusiness #entrepreneur #growing #boomgoesthedynamite #cantstopme #imgonnadoitanyways

So we are getting really close to finishing this massive custom cabinet job! The customer asked that we match the door style. And some investments are definitely paying for themselves! . We recently updated the router table to a newer @jessemtoolcompany setup.... What an upgrade! This setup is a beast! I built a vented box for the base with vac attachment to support the Jessem top, nailed it! The quality is top notch with Jessem parts. I could go on all day! I'm very please...d with the functionality and value these quality tools! . I mounted a @dewalttough 2 1/4 horse router in the Jessem Mast R lift. Works great and has variable speed control, which is a plus. . The @amanatool stile and rail bits came from @toolstoday. Good price, great quality. Thoroughly pleased! . . . #reclaimingthemcewens #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #dowhatyoulove #shoptime #maker #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #makers #thelab #woodshop #woodcraft #custom #craftsmen #bespoke #custommade #customcabinets #shaker #mudroom #thisoldhouse #dewalt #amanatool #toolstoday #jessem #routertable See more

Concrete slab is in! That was about the longest day I've had in a while. Thanks to Ronnie Houston Concrete and Hollandsworth Concrete for the amazing job! The site conditions were slick but we got it done! . Now we wait for windows and our building delivery. This was one of the biggest milestones we've hit! Nothing can stop us now! We had to schedule and reschedule this pour a few times due to rain/snow and below freezing temps. Bring on the rain! @thatdamnwhitebarn . .... . #reclaimingthemcewens #thatdamnwhitebarn #dowhatyoulove #makers #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #maker #concrete #construction #build #concretepour #heavyloads #foundation #slab #buildingourhome #barndominium #barnhouse #barn #diyhome #slavin See more

Ready for concrete! We have had the underground plumbing inspection and foundation inspection approved! Ready for termite treatment Monday and we pour on Tuesday as long as weather permits.

We have some finish tractor work to do on the driveway after the well man got done, the second load should finish out the base layers of the driveway. . Wow this place sure is changing a lot! . .... . #reclaimingthemcewens #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #dowhatyoulove #makers #makesomething #making #makersgonnamake #maker #gravel #travishilltrucking #dumptruck #driveway #everchanging See more
