I receive the appreciation for fine woodworking, wood, trees and Hand Tools from my father from my early years.
When I was a teenager, my father hired a Master Cabinetmaker, who worked in our shop at home for several years, and made all the furniture for our house and country house. My brothers (4) and me received from this man a big lesson in Fine woodworking, especially working with exotic hardwoods from the southern territory of Colombia, South America.

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

Sounds like you and may collage profs would really get alone. Maybe that’s why I had such a hard time in school. I couldn’t understand how the conseptual crap they wanted me to make served any purpose at all. I’ve been told I am sometimes to much of a do. I define myself and the things around me by the funtion it proforms. I like getting posts from you man, you make me think. Thanks!!
