I grew up surrounded by all manner of woodworking. The majority of my family were carpenters, father included. I really didn't have a choice but to learn how to work with wood, since this was inevitably my first form of employment. I spent six or so years working with my father both on the job site, and in our shop at home where he would build some of the most beautiful furniture I've ever seen(although I'm probably a bit biased). The thing that stood out about him most was his drive for perfection. If it wasn't just right, it was thrown away or reworked. I decided the carpenters life wasn't for me and joined the military, not because I didn't enjoy building houses and woodwork in general, but because I needed more job security. Eight years after I joined the Air Force, I lost my father, and decided that I'd pick up where I left off. Between the military and my family there isn't a terribly large amount of spare time, but I use what little there is for woodworking.

Thanks Karson. I just recently got back into woodworking, so I’m pretty rusty. Looking forward to learning some new techniques.

Welcome to the Shop.

So you rusted did you? I’d use WD-40 to cut the rust and then wipe it with a clean dry cloth and then apply a coat of paste wax.

Welcome Aboard Ver. Maybe he just needs some steel wool and some light oil?

lol

It’s been about 9 years since I’ve touched a piece of wood with intent to make more than a wheel chock or door stop. Even then, I was a young fella, so I’d have to say I’d need something a bit more abrasive.

I’m amazed by the level of workmanship of everyone’s pieces. You gentleman do some beautiful work.

They do great work. I’ve only been Lumberjocking for about a year. Before that i was a journeyman Carpenter, but an apprentice Lumberjock is one step above a Journeyman Carpenter.

Any three legged Monkey can build a bouse, a Lumberjock makes fine woodworks, craftsmanship, turnings, Art…thats it. A Lumberjock is a Wood Artist. An Artistic Genius in the Art of Wood.
