My name is Al, and I am a retired engineer who worked in oil & gas for many years. The job took my wife and I many places; we retired in 2004, and started a small woodworking business.

My wife and I are the owners of Sandal Woods, a budding business making boxes, custom cabinets, armoires, entertainment centers, various types of prayer kneelers, etc.

To help me stayed focused on woodworking I started a blog 4 in September, 2007; it can be viewed at

http://sandal-woodsblog.com

Until recently I have posted mostly photos of small projects, a couple of cabinets, and a photo tour of my shop. Please visit the blog and let me know if you like what you see.

Soon, I will be developing video for the blog. My first attempt will be a video tutorial on making inlaid dovetails. I hope you will like it!

See you around here, and at my blog.

Al

Please tell me where you get your 2” medallions, I think that is the most professional way to mark I have seen. Thanks
