This is the inside on our 1840 one-room schoolhouse. We purchased the schoolhouse in 2004 after it sat empty for years and had previously been used for a gallery and an antique shop. The building is essentially original except for the new door I built for the front and the new wiring that we installed. This summer I plan to build a large porch for the front of it. In the winter time I heat it with a wood stove and in the summer it stays cool under the shade of some birch and cherry trees. It is quite an awesome place to work where I can turn the machines on, crank up whichever internet audio stream I have running and rip, plane, joint, shape, bore, drill, sand and crosscut to my hearts content. I still use the chalkboards for most projects which gives plenty of room to draw out projects and make cut lists that I can read from anywhere in the shop. These pictures are as clean as it has ever been (since I took over.) Dust is controlled by a 10 foot tall vacuum in the one cloakrooms which fills up 55 gal drum liners. I have recently found endless uses for the sawdust and shaving made by milling.

This is a natural cherry kitchen where we also installed hard maple counters. This was a kitchen that the Springhouse Woodshop designed to fit around the unusual shaped room. The large upper cabinets on the stove wall are actually full depth (24″) to utilize the depth on either side of the stone fireplace which is in the living room on the other side of the wall. Lots of prep area in this kitchen as well as a bar counter for seating or a serving buffet.
This kitchen went into an addition on a beautiful 1850′s farmhouse in Oley, PA. The cabinets were simple painted hard maple with flat panels. The island counter was slab hard maple. The counter is finished in Duravar catalytic varnish. The effect of the cabinets in the pale yellow room is graceful and understated in this historic home.
This was a custom television and component cabinet built for a client who found us on the internet. The finish was made to match other antiqued furniture the client had. He sent us a door from his cabinet so that I could match it. The doors are bi-fold and the cabinet was built for a corner. A nice collaboration between our client’s design and our own. This bench is a gorgeous addition to any room.
    These two pieces were built for a new townhouse in Jersey City. The wood is cherry with a stain. The upper piece is a buffet for the client’s dining room. The second piece is a large entertainment unit with sliding doors, display cubbies, and bookshelves.  |
