I am a firefighter in Santa Cruz county, CA. I have been woodworking my whole life but started taking it seriously a few years ago when I acquired a few pieces of shop machinery from my father-in-law as a wedding gift. It was the greatest gift of my life.

After setting up a shop on my grandparent's property I started out by building small projects like jewelry boxes and gifts. I still love building boxes but my main focus is now on building custom furniture.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Dorje, that pic was taken in a hat store. I liked that hat but didn’t buy it. Now I wish I had.

My wife wishes there was room for a car now. Her car has been out of the garage for awhile now. Maybe that is why she has not talked to me in such a long time. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you Blake, I knew I seen it but couldnt remember where. But I loved the Idea I had to put it to use with my carving.
Thanks again

thanks for the comment on my lumber rack. I guess that since Dadoo and I both have science backgrounds that great minds think alike (NOT).

When I saw a post of his shop I was pleasantly surprised as well.

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.

God Bless
