I've been woodworking for a good number of years now.
I am now retired from a steel mill and have much more time to devote to it.
I now very rarlely build things for other people as it is too much like work.
I have been building Toys&Joys toys lately, but I just finished a new bench for my lathe.

First of all I need to say, your wood toys are a work of art, simply beautiful! You are truely a craftsman of this art!! I see from one of your posting you are in the process of wanting to re-do your shop. I am in the process of putting a 14 X21 shop in. If you care to look I have a sketch on my sight. We will have to keep each othe posted on our progress.

Your projects are amazing. They are immediate treasures, to be cherished for generations to come. I often stop having fun during a project but what else am I going to do? I must have started it for a good reason. The rewards will come down the road. Love your work. Thanks for sharing,
