I am a trim carpenter and cabinet maker in the West Michigan area. My dad is a general contractor, so I have been around the building trades pretty much all my life. I have sawdust in my blood so to speak. :) I've managed to be blessed with pretty steady work in a slow Michigan economy. I am entering a new phase in my career of building custom cabinets for the houses I trim, which is very exciting! Sometimes I just stand in my shop and can't believe I get paid for this.
I read everything I can about woodworking, and I try to be constantly learning. I'm always looking for new tips and techniques to do my job better.
Oh, and I am addicted to Festool!

So I have been helping my dad frame a house while I am in between cabinet jobs. A few days ago, we noticed a turkey hanging out near the house. She didn’t seemed to be at all afraid with the noise and activity going on. Turns out, a farme...

Here are some pictures of the cabinets I built! Unfortunately, the builder hadn’t gotten some of the appliances, so the photographer was unable to get pictures of the bar, and one side of the island where the microwave sits. I hope that on...
