Clear Anodized aluminum Door Skins etc.
I recently was reminded that I needed to add a little material to the blog. Sorrry folks I think I have just been lazy. We have a ton of stuff coming up and I promise I’ll put it up ASAP.
Front Door.
In the mean time here is a door I put together for a big clear anodized aluminum project I did here in town. This door is 7′H by 6′ W. Its hinged on a third and weighs in at about 600 lbs.
I simply love this door. I used 78- 4′x10′ sheets of aluminum on all of the Soffit and Facia and ceilings as well as most of the exterior walls in this house.
Its awesome.

Door from inside. Come on in, have a pumpkin.
Interior wall and ceiling, which you cant see very well, but its there I swear it.
This really was a giant pain in the butt, which took a full year. However it was a great opprotunity. Not very many people are brave enough to clad their house in metal. Word of warning, the neighbors wanted to kill me, though I think they have settled down now.
Architectural Fin.
Patio area and windows
What a house ! This is the part where I should say something in french that generally refers to food while making a slightly femmy gesture with my hands………but I dont know french. Instead please enjoy the view of the back of my head.
More to follow soon.
Children’s Furniture
The reason for the long standing ban on me from many sports bars may indeed derive from my indelible love of children’s furniture.
Here is a little number I put together for my two sons for Xmas. It is meant to inspire creativity but still have some basic rules to it, just as in all art. If you understand the fundamentals of art it is basically all the same, if you can do one form you can do another and this free flowing drawing table for two is designed to instill that lesson.
This is made from end grain Mahogany and face grain Maple with a clear laquered finish and 1/4″ stainless steel strapping for legs.
This has of course inspired me to make an adult version, though out of solid mahogany, so stay tuned.
Feel like saying something, throwing in an idea, sneaking me in to a sports bar ? Please do.
Modern doors etc.
Ok as promised though slightly late, here are the new door designs.
The white doors are solid slab Oak with 3/4″ glass with a White laquer finish.
This is a mahogany family solid slab with a slighty tinted orange stain and a clear urethane finish. This design is a bit more Mid Century I think.
You know how we love feedback take a look.
New door designs
In the absence of good affordable design in the local market, we here at Modfab decided to do our own. While I realize that there are only a few members here. Im going to pretend as though there were many. As some of you know I recently began running a new series of doors, both interior and exterior. The first one as you see below is a solid core oak slab with glass and black lacquer finish, a white one is to follow next week. 
We are going to keep churning the new designs out until my brain leaks out my nose or they catch on, preferably the latter. My hope is that people will see these doors and other things like them and begin the conversation about the need for good design, perhaps people will be inspired to design their own doors, cabinets, chairs, tables, baths, and of course fruit baskets. Ok so it sounds a little corny but hey maybe it will work.
Being that this is my first blog I may have messed up a thing or to but as time goes bye we will work out the kinks.
HOORAY MODERN !
