Hi, Darryl! Thanks for the welcome, I am indeed a lifetime Granite Stater. I looked around your site here- looks like your shop had a rough go of it in “05! I gotta post up some pictures of MY shop, people will LOL @ me! But, we do what we have to, with what we have, because we must….Keep making that sawdust! Michael C.

Hello Darryl, I have been looking at your segmented work. Awesome job.

Have your say...
