Teacher for Austin Community College, Digital Publishing, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Printing Production. Live in the country on 4.5 acres, have garage shop, mill cedar for boxes and remodeling projects on our cabin. Currently building boxes, slowly working on the cabin and learning new stuff with each step. Next project is cabinets for a closet, and expansion of the second bedroom. Woodworking skills intermediate and moving forward, I learn by trying. Marrieds with no children, dog, cat, two fish and anything that wonders out of the woods. Fishing is another hobby that relaxes my mind and sets me up for starting new things. Reading and working in my church also take up time from everything.

Re: We're Giving Away Grooving Planes!

Not all grooves are equal so there are two planes for the shop.

Re: Montreal "Bunker" Workshop

What a cool idea. Maybe I will dig out next to my garage and put the shop below ground also. Central Texas does get hot in the summer, so underground would be welcome a change.

Re: UPDATE: Unlocking the Secrets of Traditional Design

I have gone through many afternoons sitting in Half Price Books reading about different solutions to problems. This book would really help. Thanks for helping all of us become better woodworkers.

Re: Book Giveaway: Furniture Restoration - Step-by-Step Tips and Techniques for Professional Results

I just started to refinish the estate furniture from my Mom and Dads farm. There is a round oak table and four chairs. The finish is gummy and in some places it chips off. The table has been taken apart and two chairs also. So the book would be a great resource to begin and finish the project. ThanksDT
