Good to see another Michigander on LJ. Welcome aboard. Looks like you are having fun with the projects. Keep posting them as they come. I like your chair.
This week I am working on repairing a poorly made chemistry sink and counter at a school. Hardly woodworking, but at least I get to use my router, saw, and sander! Reworking is less fun than designing and making, I have to say.
