34′ (10.5M) Tender

So is this cool or what? The hull and deck molds have been shipped to Hodgdon Yachts of East Boothbay, Maine for parts fabrication. We are on to CNC cutting the remaining molds for the rest of the parts such as hardtop, bulkheads, hatches and other details. We are truly looking forward to seeing this [...]

Manufacturers Association of Maine Monthly Meeting

On March 11, 2010 Janseneering was pleased to host the monthly meeting of the Manufacturers Association of Maine. Headed by Executive Director Lisa Martin, the association is active in promoting the growth and success of businesses in Maine, a constant struggle considering what our state legislators try to do to prevent that (my comment, not [...]

Looks like a Blumonge

Well, okay so maybe not quite as puffy. We have covered over the open frames and longitudinals with sheathing and then sprayed about 60 liquid gallons of a two part reactive foam. The process gives us some leeway for quirks in the frames assembly so that when we machine the foam with the 5-axis CNC [...]

We are still here.

It has been a while since we posted anything. That is not because we were sitting around twiddling our thumbs, but rather, Janseneering has been quite busy with a very large project that required many one-off molds. As exciting and enjoyable as this project is, Janseneering has signed a non-disclosure agreement with our client and [...]

Custom Architectural Door Opening Head Casing Redux

The inside and outside head casings for this custom curved door turned out to be absolutely stunning, and that is before they are final sanded, fit to the door and given a final finish coat. We started with glued up pieces of 16/4 mahogany that were mapped out to fit the casing without excess waste, being [...]
