The client ran his business out of his home. The large room was paneled floor to ceiling in raised paneling, with extensive cabinetry for the office. The computer, monitor, peripherals (laser printer, fax, etc) and a video conference system were all concealed behind full retracting doors. In addition, curved paneling was installed in adjacent archway.

For Office Desk / TableI had to do considerable extra work on the final product in order for the drawers to work properly. I provided the concept drawing and Jim designed the rest. The final product looks fantastic from a small distance. It is in the details of the construction that is disappointing. It has been a little over a year since Jim installed it and I have just recently finished fixing it. After some communication to have Jim complete the project and having him say he would take care of it. I ended up just doing it myself. He never got back with me on this project.

For Victorian BookcasesI chose James Eddy for a bookcase project the included challenges that most other cabinet makers either balked at or refused outright to tackle. After much consultation with Jim, he admitted that he had never tackled anything like this before, but was very interested in handling it. His enthusiasm and obvious talent won me over. I could not have asked for a better job. His craftsmanship and attention to detail was amazing. As it was to be part of a Victorian library, he even included a shelving adjustment design that had been used in a library from the 1800's. No metal pins, all fitted wood, quite amazing. Jim even noticed a rather elaborate design that was carved in the corners of my Queen Anne desk, and hand carved the same design into the bookcase pilasters, rather than just fluting them.
All in all I could not be more pleased with the work, and the price was quite reasonable. Jim will soon start another project for me.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
