Brent Lofts
The Brent Lofts in Downtown Pensacola was a 5 year Project at which I set up an ON-SITE milling and fabrication shop. I was able to mill 250,000 feet of Oak and Poplar trim as well as pre-fab 100's of casements and 1000s of components. All this in roughly 1100 square feet of shop space.Â
Before checking out the years of in-in-process pictures below, here are some pics posted by The Brent Lofts on their FB page. Professionally taken of course.
Early in the project I was tasked with mocking up designs as the final look and feel of the spaces were fluid across existing architecture. There is a method.
The shop was completely mobile and equipped with portable job site equipment for quite some time. Later came the bigger heavier machines when production mode kicked in.
Hundreds of 100 year old doors suffered from neglect and were removed, disassembled if needed and repaired and reinstalled in their original holes. Hide glue was popular when these doors were originally made so heat was used to take them apart.
