Well, it's official!!  Grandpa's Cabinets has made a big move from Michigan to Florida.  We're now located in Middleburg, Florida which is just south west of Jacksonville.  My wife and I have chosen a warmer climate to spend our next season of life in and I've been working feverishly getting the workshop up and usable.  This move forced me to take a good look at the tool inventory I had accumulated over the years, and I've filtered a lot of seconds and thirds of tools I didn't realize I had.  It happens!!

Grandpa's Cabinets New Workshop

So, I am officially up and operating once more, and surprisingly I've had a tremendous amount of quotes and orders since the move.  This is a very pleasant surprise as one moving usually worries that customers won't follow, but you have, and I'm very busy building.  I look forward to getting even more busy now that I'm settled so keep those quote requests coming and tell your friends and fellow model builders about me.  Thanks to all who have helped build this into a business and please get the word out there on the internet sites, Grandpa's Cabinets is ready to go once again.

Best wishes to all and thank you so much for your business.

Yep...that's right! Grandpa's Cabinets is moving to sunny Florida.  Ofcourse our online home isn't moving and we're still here ready to take your orders.

It may take a week or two to get settled before can start up production again so please keep the custom quotes coming!

We look forward to shipping from Flordia although we'll miss our pals in Michigan!  Once we get settled, I'll post some new photos of the workshop!

Yep..Grandapa's Cabinet's even builds custom display cases for bras!

This is actually a neat project as it was an artistic project for a breast cancer fundaraiser.

Below is the note I received from the client.

"Last evening we had a Holiday party at our home and all four of the artists who created the bra were here. They were in complete agreement: there could not be a better display case for the bra. I am enclosing the bra dedication for you to read because it captures how meaningful this is for me and why I wanted a special case to display the bra."

Below is the dedication:

Flutter for Life

Our dear friend and fellow reader, Mary, was our inspiration for “Flutter for Life.”  The spirit with which she met the challenges of her breast cancer reminded us of the grace, beauty and perseverance of the butterfly.  We saw fragility and strength exist side by side.  As butterflies rely on each other and their environment to sustain life, our friend also needed a community of support.  Mary’s foundation for healing was made up of those who provided her medical care, her friends and family and other breast cancer survivors.  In our design, this life-sustaining support system is represented by the nectar-bearing flowers, the vines and the smaller butterflies.

We truly admire her grace, strength and inner beauty.  Much love and joy went into the creation of “Flutter for Life.”  So, dear friend, we dedicate our butterfly bra to you and the “girls.”

Below are a few pictures from one of our customers. The American Flag as a backdrop looks great for this ship!

Thanks again for making my ship model look really professional. Everyone who has seen the case and the ship are really impressed. - John E. (Jack) Kirk USN (Ret)
