Current Woodworking Project

This is a table I'm building for my Nephew and his fiance. It is a wedding present. I enjoy working with wood very much. My wife calls herself a woodworker's widow. I try to balance my family life with my love for woodworking but it is hard! I love being in the garage. I'm now working on the drawer. I went to Lowes and picked up some poplar wood for the sides and back. I have cut the drawer front to size and will work on the dovetails next. It is great fun!

Getting Started

Sometimes it is good to write down ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. I thought I would make an effort to do so. This world has changed so much in the time I have been living (since 1946) that I thought it might be good to put down some thoughts as to how my life and the world around me has changed over the years.

I have been made aware of the changes by having two daughters. I have watched them grow as I have grown and noted some important differences - at least in my opinion. I have also watched myself grow and have noted a lot of changes there also.

I hope this idea of opening up to people in the world around me is helpful to someone. I think it will be most helpful to me by just putting thoughts on the screen.
