I am an Aircraft Mechanic/Database Administrator by trade. I started woodworking as a hobby when we bought our new house in December 2007. I don't have many tools, but I try to make the most out of what I do have. Woodworking is something that I have definately become very passionate about, and look forward to growing with it through the years.

I’ve been playing with Sketchup a little bit when I have free time, and decided to make a model of my friends gated entry into the backyard. The post caps are the same as the ones I’m showing him how to make. I enjoy working in Sketchu...
