Heyo Folks,
Recently graduated electrical/aerospace/automation engineer from MTU in Houghton. Married with a wife, and a boston terrier and a cat. Fairly new to woodworking, I find that now that I don't get to work with my hands alot at work that it gives me an excellent outlet when I'm out of work to get the creative juices flowing.
The Wood Whisperer is what really got me into it, nice to see someone my age woodworking, I was getting the feeling (no offense intended here) that woodworking books and videos were "By retirees, for retirees". Marc S proved me wrong! You rock dude, wicked sweet for sure.
Casey

Hello folks, I figure everyone should get a bit of a chuckle out of this project. My sister recently moved into a new apartment and for whatever strange reason she had somehow acquired a six foot long piece of bowling alley. Normally I would ha...

So I have spent my free time lately just cutting dovetails, rabbets, and grooves with my router table. So far I like it alot, but I’m going to get that formica on quick. The coating on it definitely wears quickly. I’ve been playing wit...

I spent last evening making myself a router table! This is my first “major” project that is beyond anything small and simple. I had nothing but a circular saw, corded drill and hand tools to make it with and I am pretty happy wi...

So enough with the microscope for today and on to my newest tools purchases and a project! (Finally they say!) There you see a Stanley block plane, small Stanley hand saw, and a piece of granite. The block plane will be functional with some...

I recently have been refinishing a small chair for my wife. The chair legs are solid walnut with the side panels a veneered walnut. (Which I learned after the fact… unfortunately) Before I just tossed some finish onto it I bought a piece of ...

Hey Casey,
I just read over you 4 blog posts.
I’m in the same boat as you, being a newbie with limited funds for tools, but a desire to do something tactile, rather then just working on the computer.Yes sometimes family and other responsibilities do get in the way.
Best of luck.

Go Huskies! I try and make it up every year for the Parade of Nations and Winter Carnival. Not to make you feel old Scott but I graduated in ‘05… so 21 years afterwards!

Hey Yooper! Glad you found this site. Escabanana, eh? I spent about 8 years in the lovely U.P. I only left when they closed the Air Force Base (K.I. Sawyer, but I know, you’re too young to remember that).
