I am really not much of a woodworker but more of an all around tradesman. After I finish my new shop and get some fence up for my dogs and finish my bus and my house and 1972 Chevy Cheyenne (I think a '56 Ford pickup may also be in my future) and my many other on going projects with both wood and steel (you get the idea), I plan on trying to build some nice wooden projects.
A Rigid table saw (with a router attached) and Hitachi 10" sliding miter box are the mainstays of my shop. Along with band saws and sanders and many of the other assorted power and hand tools a 30 year building veteran would own.
I really enjoy building my own doors so I may build a nice storm door for our front entrance way and follow it up with a hallway bench/coat rack. I am also thinking of replacing our kitchen island laminate counter-top with a wooden top, a burl if I can find one at a price I can afford.
Anyway, I really enjoy tools and working with my hands and I am looking forward to spending some time on this very well done website.

Thanks for the friendly welcome everyone, great website you’ve got here. I am really not much of a woodworker but more of an all around tradesman of sorts. After I get my new shop completed and get some fence up for my dogs and finish my bus and my house and 1972 Chevy and my many other ongoing projects with both wood and steel (you get the idea), I plan on trying to build some nice wood projects. For some reason I really enjoy building my own doors so I may start there and follow it up with some nice cabinets or a wood burl counter top. Anyway, I really enjoy tools and working with my hands and I am looking forward to spending some time on this very well done website!

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless
