Over the years that I have been woodworking, I constantly try to challenge myself by tackling larger projects and by implementing new techniques. Aside from what I have learned by watching Norm Abram and David Marks on TV (which was a lot!), I am a self taught woodworker.

My favorite style of furniture is Arts and Crafts (Mission) and I am often inspired by the work of Gustav Stickley and Greene & Greene.
My wood shop is in a two car garage and it is only used for woodworking and some storage.

One of the most important things that I have learned over the few years I have been making sawdust, is that you DON'T need the most expensive tools to make beautiful furniture! My first table saw, for example, was far from top-notch and did quite well for me.

Brian,

Just got done checking your website out and man you do beautiful work! Would have suspected that you were in the furniture business being from High Point NC so I was pleasantly surprised to see that you are in a totally unrelated field. Welcome I think you will really enjoy LJ.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Hi Brian

Well, again I’m behind the times.

I didn’t see you sneak in or I would have welcomed you. Unless I did on a projects page.

Anyway, Welcome to lumberjocks.

Lee
