creating Art

Recently i traveled to San Luis Obispo to visit my son who attends college there. My son took myself, my wife, and our guests to an organic farm where he is interning. the manager of the farm was a cool, energetic, man with a degree in horticulture, and boy did he know his stuff! I will try to load a video of our experience. ( If not you will see a picture.) If you are reading this please add your comment.... any comment. thanks- Zenbuilder

Threshold masterpiece.

Hey people out there, how are you today? I just worked on a tricky little job. I removed a rotten Oak threshold and replaced some dry-rot framing underneath. How exciting! Actually how i replaced was interesting. I purchased a new oak threshold, then Covered it completely with an extruded aluminum sill cover and caulked it with silicone. It was a weird scenario with living space directly underneath the sill so that's why I made it completely water impervious.

Tax season

Wee! it's tax season again. I built this custom sign for a tax business in Redondo Beach about 6 years ago now it needs to be refurbished. I actually painted over the lettering as one can see from the photo. Zenbuilder loves to do small jobs... cause he meets people and makes connections for bigger jobs.

custom door. installation

Well here's the finished installation! What a lovely little playhouse, now it's a doghouse for Zena the warrior puppy. Oh yeah did i mention that I built the playhouse to match the custom house. This was built about 5 years ago.

Craftsman movement

The Craftsman movement will never die! Even when I'm gone many talented people will pick up the torch and carry on, The more Chinese garbage products, and mass produced crap that ends up in the marketplace, the more hand made items from artisans like myself will flourish! Remember your history Arts and craft movement started as a direct result of the "Industrial Revolution" This door was made from one hand selected 2*8 * 12" piece of Redwood. This wood was recycled from a old Trellis we recently demoed. Keeping it real- Zenbuilder.

Meditation garden.

In a world of noise and confusion, a person needs to have a place of solitude and beauty, where they can relax and release all the negative energy particles they have encountered during their day.

A great new artist.

Construction gets slow during the holidays, so I have had time to pursue other interests, one of which is art. Recently while in Sweden at the International Plywood conference- I discovered a new Artist. This particular artist has created his own new school - it's called w.a.c. whimsical and creative art. I purchased this painting called "God Morgon" for a reasonable price. What do you the people of the world think about it?
