Hi, im Louis, im 18 and love to woodwork, all growing up i was interested in all types of construction. When i was four i could sit and watch the a/c repair guy fix the a/c for hours on end, or watch a road being dug up for hours too. I just graduated from Davis High School where i got into woodworking. I started woodworking as a sophomore in high school and my interest has just gotten more intense since then. The past few years my garage shop has grown as well. I started with a scroll saw for a christmas present and i have now acquired just about everything needed to do some serious woodwork except the important big machinery (nice table saw, planer, and a jointer). I am currently attending Salt Lake Community College and taking two woodworking/furniture building class. I will surely go on to do something in the woodwork department, we'll see though. Im hoping to learn from all you other "Lumber Jocks"

I guess that’s as good of an excuse as there is for not having dovetails on your box. I’ve got a Rockler dovetail jig and haven’t had time to do too many dovetails with it, but hope to get some use out of it soon.
