Hello, I'm Red. I am a family man, a railroad engineer, and a furniture maker. When I am not driving a train, or chasing my kids, I am in my woodshop. I've been known to burn the candle at both ends a little...but I love my life. And I love everything about woodworking.

I've been chipping away at this craft seriously for about 5 years now. Mostly I make Arts & Crafts furniture. Like a lot of woodworkers today, I started as Normite- power tools for everything. But this past year I have really started to appreciate and accumulate hand tools. Of course, once I got decent at sharpening them, it opened up a whole new world.

Looking forward to being part of this little "woodworking community." I was boring my facebook friends with all my woodworking posts anyway;-)

Dan,

Did you go to OWU in Bartlesville, OK? I graduated from there in 2002 and my wife graduated there in 2003. If you’re not the tall, red-headed Dan I remember from then that played guitar, then you have a twin.

Only thing I rock is a scraggly red mop. Woodworking and music go hand-in-hand for me buddy. I love em both. And there is always music playing in my shop. Sometimes when I’m not even there;-)
