Location: Rochester, NY
Website: http://woodwerks.com/home.php?pid=20090908065110545
Born in 1960, been married for 27 years to a lovely lady, have 6 kids ages 9,11,13,18,19, & 22...all still living at home. I've been employed by Eastman Kodak for 28 years, and am currently a lab technician...yes we still make silver halide film right here in Rochester (whatever was once made in China has actually come back here!).
I've been woodworking since 2001. My shop is about 1/3 of a two car garage, and is shared by too many bicycles, sleds, scooters, outdoor toys, and garden tools, etc. It's uninsulated and difficult to work in during our long cold winters, so I tend to do mostly "cyber woodworking" during the winter months. I gained a fascination with saw blades early on in my wwing endeavors, and have pursued using, collecting, and testing them as a "side hobby within a hobby"....to date I've probably tried close to 50. I've also just started using and learning about hand planes, and now have a modest collection of those too.
Most of my projects are furniture for around the house, along with occasional items for friends and family. I gravitate toward the Mission/Arts & Crafts style but tend to go my own way just using elements of those styles that I like. Much of my wood is salvaged or given to me. I've been fortunate to have purchased surprisingly little wood over the years. One deviation from furniture was an electric guitar for my now 18 YO son. Since I don't play, it was the most challenging thing I've tackled to date, but also the most rewarding.
Thanks for visiting....nice web site gang!

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.
