The guy driving the forklift in a warehouse I recently worked at had a very bad day. So bad in fact that you wonder if he was Forklifting under the Influence (FUI) 🙂 Damage caused below.
.
The warehouse I was called to do this job works with high end furniture. This is furniture ordered by designers. The furniture is shipped to, and then stored at this warehouse where it waits for delivery.
This is very expensive furniture.
I was told this cabinet sold for $5,000.
I was asked if I could come the same week, and repair this before it needed to be shipped to North Carolina. The warehouse manager said it did not need to be designer expectations, but it did need to be a good repair, and blend in.
It was going into a model home.
This was a new customer so I wanted to make a good impression.
I patched the damage area, and had to blend the colors to match the grey color. This is a very popular color lately. I have done it a few times already this year. Even Caleb my apprentice is getting good with it.
Below is the finished repair. A lot of artwork had to go into this one.
Here is another angle
The warehouse manager was pleased, and off to North Carolina it went right on schedule!
