I spent about 3 hours on this task, careful to move with care. I noticed that the White paint on the exterior side was uneven, and I took time to apply a more thorough coat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/399cce45-d7f0-4c13-bc6f-16e04f0d0cce/IMG_4601.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Feedback I recieved was that I was gouging the waterproofing material. I had thought I was being thorough in my cleanup, but I was taking my chisel too far. Lesson learned. From then on, I was careful of gouging when working on windows. Used a chisel to clean glass, paint brush and paint https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/849c6411-1a05-48b3-97ee-bdf289ba9266/IMG_5018.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Here you see the window installed, and the wall being restored and prepped to reinstall the casing. I assisted by smoothing out the construction foam as my mentor built out the corner wall. I sanded and then painted, all while careful to not disturb the ceiling sculpture that was fragile and prone to disturbance. This process stretched my ability to become comfortable working a space over and over. There were several layers to restoring this window, and I found pride in supporting most of the process. I became inspired by how two people could make such a difference in someone’s home before snowfall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/d1abb405-d167-4445-94f2-d52d1cbcd90c/IMG_5474.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Bryan and I milled this locust wood until it was the desired depth. It was used as a decorative Header for the above window we worked on. I also traced an exact outline of the locust to be taped on the wall for creative placement discussion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/8a872f45-d12d-4a45-8f2a-b9e1b459914c/IMG_5017.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Before https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/70543b64-3d01-4fb4-a71a-29415f73b427/IMG_5019.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner After: A before and after of a Brickmold I cleaned with a small, stiff brush. My mentor was please with the thoroughness, and also encouraged me to not get too lost in the details that I run out of time for the next task. I enjoyed using a small hand tool and putting finishing touches on this beautiful supportive piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/4f25a889-fd94-4b03-a05a-6612c90902c1/IMG_5113.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Here is an example of the Mosaic Wooden Floor that Bryan Saner had been building for a year. There are 7 species of wood, gathered by the client over the years in Chicagoland. Here is a Ribbed Oak and Ash. The Ash has been scalloped, which in final form creates a shimmering water effect. My job was to plus the screw holes. It was a tedious task which took many months. My attention to detail greatly served the project in my ability to cut and select precise matches for the peculiarities of the wood. I found pleasure in stepping back and observing the disappearance when a match was particularly cohesive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/0001e2a4-48ce-4a8d-91ff-532df036cac5/fully+plugged+pew+wood.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner While all planks of wood were beauty to behold, pictured here, are saved pieces of Pew from a local church that’s closed. I felt a responsibility to work with confidence and skill on this wood. This turned out to be a challenge for me, I got in my head a bit and panicked, creating light craters where the tool made contact. I showed my mentor the impact, and he wasn’t pleased. I suggested sanding the area with a 80 grit when we get to sanding. It worked! There was epoxy on the wood, that I had to sand away and make suitable for walking. In the end, we were both very very pleased. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/e1aedfb2-22f5-4939-b4d0-69c507ca3a67/IMG_5512.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner I had a learning curve with all of my projects in the early months of my apprenticeship. In this one, each species responded differently to being cut in the drill press. Some would burn and change color, some would break more easily. With installing, some species were softer, and would need different pressure, some were so hard that I had to chisel out a cone like shape for them to go in at all. Bryan would come over to remind me proper hammer technique from time to time. I learned that my double jointedness made intuitive posture of the hammer unreliable, so I’m developing routine to check my posture before beginning using tools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/9d1fe8e8-fa7b-4051-9625-ec5f04998499/IMG_5113.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner Here's a satisfying image of 1/5 of the floor being plugged.

This was the largest group of wood we were working on. There were some boards where the plugs needed to be light. I realized I could use the underside of my scrap piece to easily cut new light plugs. I was spending a lot of time using sandpaper to get to the light shade- this saved a lot of time and energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/1781368807951-4KCCDTQPIYIDU24K25A4/fully%2Bplugged%2Bexample.jpg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner closeup of plugged hole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/9683d413-a34c-4b16-9715-38f88a71dcc2/fully+plugged+example2.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner more plugged holes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/81c1685a-5415-4ac8-b571-8532886924c5/finished+plug+example.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner close up of plugged floor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/807676db-e9ed-479d-a803-66c3d9d1b04b/cleaned+image+of+south+shore+home.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner My grandmother in- laws home in South Shore. Her closet had been off the hinges for a long time. The floor has shifted over the years, and the tracts were no longer reaching properly. I used a drill to open the floor piece, measured a few pieces of cardboard, and layered them under the floor peace. Then, I tightened up the loose brackets and placed the door back on the track! She was pleased and I was happy to work with a lovely wooden door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cfe21d31f2a4291570ea91/c57d1e93-8c20-4cd6-a4e7-a1ea0007f1e4/IMG_4797.jpeg Specific Projects - Bluestem Building and Restoration- with Bryan Saner A storm doorm.
