I have been repairing and restoring for 30 years down here. 13 years here in Pass Christian. I have always stayed busy but the great storm of 2005 ( Kat ) has been a real challenge. I get parts and pieces is shopping bags that are all that is left from a home full of family treasures.

My shop went under 4' of salt water and I was nearly a year getting up and running with the help of people from all over the country helping ( an atomic scientist over hauled my metal working lathe). What a country.

I do my best in this continuing education in skill and appreciation. I learn something new each day and always look forward to getting in my shop.

Fine Woodworking has been my inspiration and guide starting with the first issue. Keep up the good work and don't change. This new book sounds like something I can use. I'll put it on my Christmas wish list.

What a life I have, I do what I love and never work.
