This is the 2nd time I was hired to build anything in the woodworking area…..The client brings me a picture of this bookcase and asked if I could build her one only bigger…She ended up going with pine to save some money.
I don’t have a shop, so I built it in her driveway and garage….I loved building this for her and I got paid to boot…didn’t seem fair…...I need to really work on the finishing/staining skills :-( not what I would like….

In another house we redid the fireplace brick had been painted so we cut the face or 1st layer of brick off and re bricked it putting in a arch with a mirror and built a new mantel.

This is a simple mantel done for a home we bought and remodeled. I was one of the first semi woodworking project I’ve done. Nothing fancy…But it gave me the woodworking bug in a big way…..
