the woooorld of wooodwoooorkinnnnngggg!

Drawing is fun, but then it's just stuck to the paper right? Woodworking is kind of like drawing but what ever you make is real! Go for it! The only thing is, you can't really make any money doing it so it's a hobby but it's the worlds greatest hobby! (That's true, look it up.)

Emily helped me make the guest room into a workshop. Guests are still welcome though.


Workshop


Here is my tool collection .



I got this hefty vise on Craigslist. what do you think-- should i restore this and paint it forest green? Or red? Or should i leave it as is?



here's the work bench i put together. i got all the pieces to make it trash picking on the way to work. the bible says, "judge not lest ye be judged."


Woodworking success stories!


I made two ray-guns for my nephews out of brass and mahogany. (only one is pictured)I carved this cedar sign at work.

Woodworking goofs.This is a box i made for an Eagles fanatic. i got too hasty and waisty on the hinge so it won't close right and has a gaping hole in the back.

This is a mahogany and maple cutting board in the shape of a _______.
Can you guess what it was supposed to look like? You can't? Oh well.

You may ask, "What about Regis' bed, your danish modern chair, your dioramas, your stereo case?" Ssshhhhhhhh. go to sleep.
