Location: Shannon, Illinois North Western Ill
Website:
Retired electronic Engineer from Honeywell InterNational for thirty Years. I work in my basement 3 or 4 hrs. a day. I spent a little money on my 12" saw and over/under/ 16" planer/jointer. I make furniture, mostly shaker or Arts and crafts, but not my religion. I have been woodworking on and off since 1975. I Started out on a saw with a table 15" square. It was good at making picture frames and not very big ones at that. Then a Shopsmith kept me happy for several years. I soon grew weary of the flex in the table saw table and moved to a Powermatic contractor saw . I started in a basement shop then a two car garage then finally back to the basement. Overhead clearance is the only issue at this point. I have taken over the entire basement space since retirement. I am a proud Grandfather of 2. I baby sit the Grandson 5 days a week, while my son works all day. I survived a liver transplant in the summer of 2007 and I now have a new lease on life and hope to make furniture for the kids through the years to come. That covers most of the highlights of my life. I hope to relax and enjoy my craft. I'll keep an eye out for the unique and curious.

I started these tables a while ago, while I was recovering from surgery. Most of the time spent so far has been turning the legs. I made the proto- type last year and posted in my projects. The task at hand is dry fitting the mortise and tenon joi...

i’ll post some projects as soon as I figure out why I can’t download pictures from my camera to my PC all of a sudden. I think my cable is the culprit. I appreciate all the greetings and am excited about joining LJ”s
