Location: Salina Kansas
Website:
My sawdust addiction is paid for through my regular pay as an Engineering manager for Philips in Salina Kansas. I've been serious about craftsmanship woodworking since 2001, although I had built functional items out of necessity for the past 20 years. My opportunity to really get serious about woodworking came, after working on projects during evenings at the local technical school 1 night per week and complaining to my wife about how little I could get done, SWMBO let me know that she had placed an order for the items I needed from Woodworkers Supply, and they would arrive that Thursday! So Thursday, the truck pulled up, Unisaw, 6" jointer, benchtop drill press and 14"bandsaw from Delta, Dewalt 13 inch planer, and dust collector, so I had my marching orders - no more excuses. She got advice from her dad who was the high school shop teacher back in Alaska.
But my passion is to make furniture that will be remembered as the gathering place for families, destined to be a cherished item becauseof the memories made using it.

Hey a fellow Kansan! Your projects are beautiful. I’m new to LJs and am looking forward to learning from the pros. It’s great that your wife takes such an interest in your work – What a joy to have all the new tools! I have several but need practice and instruction on some.
