Bar Build

A full custom bar built for a friend's shop, next to his golf simulator. Oak plywood carcasses, solid red oak trim and rail, wenge-accented bar top. Welded steel supports under the top, Philips Hue lighting run through every section, and a CNC-cut sign. Built in my shop, installed in his.

Restomod Golf Cart

A clapped out 1989 Club Car DS, stripped to the frame and swapped out everything electrical but the motor. 36V resistor to 48V solid-state controller with custom wiring throughout. Fabricated many new parts, the rear half of the roof is a dog kennel liner, and the front bumper cost a dollar and used to be exercise equipment.
