The Underground Carpenter is owned and operated by Antonio "Devon" Thibeault (pronounced "TEE-bow"), a custom cabinet and furniture maker. I work closely with each client to determine your specific needs-to get a feel for your tastes, and how you imagine the final result. Then, I design a combination of style, form, and function to fit your particular space, and fulfill your vision and needs.
Sometimes this involves coming up with an entirely new design. Sometimes it means looking at an old space or existing unit with fresh eyes, to repurpose it, and make it new again. Each project has its particular challenges. Each poses its own set of options. My job is to work with you so you know what those options are. I have spent years learning the skills of my craft, and deepening my understanding of the woods I use.
Wood continues to react to its environment years after it has been turned into a final product. If a woodcrafter doesn't understand these interactions, the piece will warp, crack, or have its glue joints fail prematurely.

Do you have a tricky space, where nothing quite fits and you can't make full and effective use of it?
Do you have existing cabinets or built-ins that no longer work for the needs you now have?
Are you looking for ways to maximize space in every room of your house?
Storage is often a problem, which the right built-in can help you to solve.
A well-designed built-in or piece of cabinetry will not only help to solve these problems; it will look as though the rooms had been designed and built around it, adding value to your home.

My deepest goal is to craft heirloom-quality furniture for your home or office.
I work to integrate the most aesthetically and functionally suited materials with an artistic approach and exceptional execution.
The pieces I craft for you are the outcome of in-depth discussions with you, to which I then apply my experience in the designing and making of custom furniture and interiors.
All of my work is hand-made.
When someone asks if they can see my work in a showroom, I point them to this portfolio.

What I do have is a keen appreciation for the importance of storage that gives you designated spaces for all of your needs, and allows you to find things quickly and conveniently.
It must also express your particular taste.
Whether you want an old closet remodeled, a brand new closet altogether, or an unused space converted into storage, it's all possible, as these three examples illustrate.
I know that, when it comes to closets, you have many options to choose from - I hope you'll give me the chance to work with you.

In addition to writing posts about the history of the house and the steps we're taking to renovate it, I'm also going to write periodic posts explaining how I do things.
Here I'm going to go through how I did some of the door framing, focusing on the downstairs bathroom.
Our First Water The house had no water.
For the summer, we figured we would run over to my mother-in-law's cottage a few times a week to fill up about a dozen jugs with water at a time.
It was an eye-opener to discover just how much we required, even.
