ok … out the door a couple of weeks ago …
another challenging project for sure!
we made one of these for a Holocaust Torah for
being that we could not visit the site on long island, the design
required much back and forth confirming concepts and measurements …
this is the second cabinet for a holocaust Torah that we have made .
and, we are now in the process of adding a bookcase to be installed
under the cabinet above …
Torah dimension check
here’s Kristian with the mdf mockup we made showing the theoretical finished cabinet
we got an eps file with the lettering from a designer there,
and kristian cut it on the cnc and painted it
the cabinet, ready to go, with the hanging instructions ..
the eagle has landed!
hung and ready for the Torah !
the great neck cabinet and the
Bennington cabinet below
the bennington cabinet
we are honored to help with the preservation and display of these historic pieces …
soon after the cabinet arrived, we were asked
to design a bookcase cabinet to go underneath it ..
fast forward to 6.24 …
homestretch on the bookcase
we offered two options for the bookcase …
the clients selected the longer option.
we had a few questions … or actually, a lot of questions …
and then there was the outlet for the lights …
although i had the theoretical location for the outlet,
we all decided that it would be best to cut the box in on site …
it would have been a project to fix it
if i got it in the wrong place …
above is the base with the levelers we needed in place.
the cabinet, ready to go, and out the door on Monday…
it arrived in Great Neck on the 3rd of july
and will be installed sometime soon …
i admit to being a little anxious about it as the floor is not level,
the wall is not perfectly plumb, there’s the outlet,
and the list of instructions i sent were all COMPLETELY theoretical.
i have faith in Major Tom, who sent me measurements and
agreed to cut the outlet in on site …
i cross my fingers and await some installation photos …
7/11 …
well, as the auctioneers say “all in, all done!”
i am so happy that the installation went well ..
thank you Major Tom! and everyone else who was involved in this project ..
as they say, ‘couldn’t have done it without ya!’
tonight i will probably not wake up at 4 AM and wonder if
everything is going to fit!
