D A Day Woodworks

So what do we work with? Well, it may be easier to say what we won't work with, because the pallet is so large. The use of particle board with the nylon coating and picture of wood grain (melamine photo board) is somewhat dated now although it was the hottest thing then. We don't like to use MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is so popular because it's cheap and paintable, but it is really more of a paper product than a woodworking medium.

That's when we decide WHO we need on the team. I work very well with architects, builders, designers, and if you don't have one, I have a number of them that I can recommend to you who may be a good fit for the project. If you have any of these team members already, I can't wait to meet them!

If you have ideas, pictures, magazine pages, thumbnail drawings on paper bags and don't feel we need a designer, as is often the case, we will gladly work with you to define your ideas with a few of our own.Then we decide HOW MUCH. This is important to everyone out there. We have worked with multi-millionaires and everyday blue-collar folks and everything in between, and we have NEVER encountered one client who isn't concerned with price.

It's already there, you already own it, it's paid for, but it doesn't work for your new vision. Or, you've found this really cool piece of architectural salvage and would like to incorporate it into your home somehow. We absolutely love this! This is how you make use of what you already have (or found), and can create a truly one of a kind piece that not only works for your new application, but gives your place a whole new feeling.

Some folks are totally pleased with off the shelf, out of the box, ready-made cabinets from one of the big suppliers. BUT, there are a few things to consider. First, store bought cabinets are already made when you order them and are usually made in 6 increments. The salesperson (not to be confused with a cabinet maker), types the measurements of your space into the computer and, "Voila!", the space is immediately filled with little cubes.

Although we are in the 21st century, we are carrying on the work of the Medieval Arkwright who created the storage units for the early inhabitants of Europe. You may be able to store all of your cyber belongings in cyber space, but your tangible items still need to be stored in cabinetry.

Day, we're honored to be enthusiastically carrying on such an important trade, as many others (fullers, fletchers, and coopers) have all vanished, except as surnames.
