I have been in woodworking most of my life. I grew up learning the trade from my father. I served in the Marines from '85-'89. Got out of the habit of woodworking for 15 years. When I married my second wife 8 years ago, I got back into it. I have a small shop in the front room of a 16X80 mobile home.
I make games, birdhouses, cars and trucks, and other misc. stuff.

Well, I opened my big mouth again. My wife and I were talking about our spare room, that her 27 year old son finally moved out of, and how we wanted to redo it. The first thing that we are going to do, besides clean, is we are going to put our new...

Go to my projects and see what happens when I got a kick back. And to see the pen and pencil holder I made for my wife. I gave it to her today, which also happens to be our Anniversay. Been married 8 years.
