That is a very nice little shop.....and your work enhances it nicely....BUT.... I always wonder how little places like this stay in business, I mean, how many glasses of orange juice and at what price does it take to pay the overhead, salaries, taxes AND make a profit for the owners? Seems like that number would be fricking huge! And from selling glasses of juice and a few chips on the side? I wish them luck, and I hope you got paid in cash.

Wait. 20 monthly juice subscriptions..... Did Barry make up their calendar? Oh I see. 20 units. Makes more sense.
Started on a new restaurant job going in on High Street in the Short North in Columbus... These are made out of 1/4" thick brass and will be some of the custom door pulls at the front entrance....
Here's a picture of the last restaurant I was involved with supplying metal parts for the same owner... Did the large SS countertop on the left, did the SS mounts for the bakery display that holds the glass panels, did the SS script sign on the wall panel, did the two menu holders with the yellow menu cards towards the back, did the center circular seating and the table at the right side of the picture, and did a portion of the SS beverage counter on the right side...
Thanks! The food there is not expensive for what you get... Inexpensive food would be something like a drive through takeout place... They don't have a "to go" window with a crackly speaker that routes you past the dumpster as you leave... They probably have the highest quality level of employees anywhere in Columbus... Nathan can vouch for this... The owner sources all of his food supplies from small local farmers and only goes outside this group if there is something he can't get... And when he does, he tries to coax the locals to expand their offering, and when it happens, he switched back to the locals for his supplies. A portion of the sales is returned back to this group of small speciality farmers.... All of his restaurants have a cozy atmosphere.... The spot in the Short North generally has a line of people out on the sidewalk waiting to get in... He's big on organic foods and meat without growth hormones, free range chickens etc... He has four places in and around Columbus, one of which is a steakhouse... I've probably had the best steaks ever at that place... A lot of places come and go... He seems to know what he's doing... In the photo, you can look right into the bakery and see them working, making bread... The grill is also open, so you can see the chef's cooking... Nothing is hidden... Everything is made from scratch...
Just saw that hood. It's quite impressive. I frequent the place often. It is one of my go to places in the neighborhood. it is a little pricy, especially when compared to the White Castle right across the street. Yet I chose the former over the latter. While they are almost alway busy around normal feeding times the staff is always great. It's a little of 4 blocks away, and I pass my favorite hipster 3rd wave coffee shop on the walk.
Man this is really good work. Well done. You have a similar skill set to the man that conceptualized and built the first reduction supercharger pulley for the MINI. His name is John Milich, and his company is Product and Design. Some day I'll tell the story of the first pulley ever installed on a MINI.
Finished up this heavy brass door pull last week for a new Hipster restaurant going into the Short North area...
I see my fingerprints have been buffed out. That door handle just makes you want to fondle it. Run your hand over the curves, so smooth, such a tactile sensation.
Unfortunately grabbing it next winter without gloves on.... it will be colder than a Witch's grab handle...
