Local artisan... furniture builder, always looking for work.

[jwatriss.livejournal.com]

Hi to all.

Graduated Tufts in '03, and started following the woodworking bug. Since then I graduated the cabinet and furniture making program at the North Bennet Street School in the north end, and I set up shop close to Tufts.

I'm currently running a studio furniture shop, and I'm always looking for work. I'm looking to build the unique and interesting, for whoever wants to pay.

Here's my deal. I've been to school, and learned the ins and outs of working wood, and what makes for a quality piece of furniture. part of the basis for my shop is the assumption that there are people out there who have ideas for things that they want built, but don't have the means or the know-how to make it happen. My ideal client is someone who brings their ideas to the table, and is willing to work with me to figure out how to make it happen. The ideal client also understands that custom made furniture is not inexpensive. I'd love to do this work for free, but floating a shop takes work, and it takes money.

So, please, spread the word, and drop me a line if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

Drake's

Anyone know where to buy Drake's coffee cake around Davis? I'm supposed to pick some up for an out-of-state friend. I walked down Highland and none of the party stores had it.

I got this notice today from M&M:

McIntyre & Moore Booksellers' 50% OFF MOVING SALE HAS BEEN EXTENDED beyond the announced ending date of March 19th.

We'll be open our REGULAR HOURS, 10 AM to 11 PM, THROUGH SATURDAY MARCH 22ND, and selling at 50% off. Sunday March 23rd we'll begin closing at 8 PM. Books will still be 50% off, but we'll be packing, so there'll be fewer left. We'll remain open until 8 PM as many days as we can, possibly through the 31st, but if you're coming out of your way to visit us you may want to call first (617-629-4840).

We don't know a definite opening date at 1971 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, but we're still hoping for April 1. It should definitely be in the first week in April.
