In 2004 FIL (Father-In-Law) came over to help me extend my deck. Prior to this, the most complicated thing I had put together was an IKEA bookcase. I was so pleased with the result that I put together a quick workbench to build more things. Every item got a little more complicated. And each time I purchased another tool or piece of equipment.
I also started taking more classes, reading books, and purchasing dvds. In the four years since, I have built furniture, cabinets, and jewelry boxes. In 2008, I finally added a lathe to my equipment collection to make fine custom pens in addition to bowls, goblets, and hollowed forms.

In another life, photography was my hobby. (You can check out some of my photographs here.) While I have created lots of projects that I wanted to upload, everytime I tried to take pictures of them, they would come out like crap. You can still see...
