Website:
Retired from law enforcement and enjoying the good life in western Oregon. Oregon summers are wonderful but the winters are long and wet so that is when I work in the shop. Summers are for fishing and gardening. I live right on one of Oregon's best rivers, the McKenzie, (within 60 feet). I started wood working many years ago on my first house which needed a lot of work therefore requiring me to learn to make thing with wood. I progressed from 2X4 framing to fine furniture and lathe work over the years. I never took a shop class in school so I learned a lot the hard way.
I work on a wide variety of projects but enjoy lathe turning the most. At this point I consider myself a fairly accomplished wood worker and capable of most projects except carving. I do most of my design work with a cad program on the computer.

This is an idea I have been working on for an assembly/work bench. I posted an earlier blog to see if I could get some ideas and feed back. This is the current status. The overall design can be flexible in size and I have left the storage area und...

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless
