Im 50 years old and have been doing Architectural woodwork for about 32 years now. Wow! I guess time flies when you're having fun.
I have a 600 sq ft garage shop where i have a Felder BF-49 combination jointer, planer, shaper, mortise and table saw machine. Besides lots of small power tools i also have a Grizzly horizontal sander, a small Jet dust collector, a Shop Fox version of a William & Hussey moulder, a Rockwell 10" radial arm saw, and a Magnum 14" bandsaw thats probably a few years older than me.
Custom entry doors seem to be my most frequent projects , but i enjoy the variety of possibilities in woodworking and sometimes head off on some pretty wild tangents. We gotta keep it interesting and fun!

I’ve spent some time over the holidays in consignment and resale shops. Theres a troubling trend i’m noticing. Chances are you can buy a fine hardwood table, desk, stool or various and sundry other items for less than you can buy the s...

A few months back a customer had this cartridge laying out in her back yard and saw me admiring it and told me to take it. I had no idea what i’d do with it but i knew it was too unusual to pass up. So i made me a shell for it out of a ch...

Maybe i’m just being the picky sort. But i believe wood, possessing a directional grain, pretty much demands its dimensions be given in a standardized way. I can’t count the number of times i’ve run into problems with people givi...

I run into people all the time that i swear i don’t know how they make it. I’m referring to those i’ll call the “functionally illiterate at fixing things”. I know i would be one broke sucker if i had to call a plum...

I had a gentleman present me with a photograph of a front door he liked and asked if i could build something like it. The picture was not the best quality, so i noticed the web address at the bottom of the page of where he retrieved it. The websit...

Hi Miles,
Thanks for the kind words about my bear carving. As for being patient, I greatly respect the hand carvers who spend days chiseling, they’re the patient ones to me. I’m with you on the chainsaw note though, I just spent a few hours working on them, as of the moment I own 12, and 3 of them are working properly.
-Tim
PS. Nice work!
-- www.carvinglife.com is a new, developing resource for woodcarvers, especially those interested in chainsaw carving. Come check out videos, pictures, how to's and more!
