18 hours ago18 hr Popular Post A few Sunday’s ago I asked our Music Pastor if I could build a new conductor’s platform. The current platform was pretty ratty and quite frankly ugly. He isn’t a tall man so we decided to build it 12” tall with a 6” tall step which is secured with a pair of French cleats (shout out to Lew Kaufman). Making the step removable lightened the platform in case it needed to be moved. It is solid red oak and the non skid strips are slightly recessed into the top. Three coats of General Finishes Arm R Seal finished it off.

The pews were solid walnut. And carved pew ends , fence at pulpit and pulpit. It was gorgeous and all done by one church member.
