posted: 6:27 pm on December 18thThat's a beautiful piece of work! I think maybe you had more fun making it than your grandson will have playing with it.
Best,

Re: Wood Shop Al Fresco
Hello Stephany,
posted: 8:15 pm on June 4thI to have an outdoor "shop". OK it is in my carport but I struggle with a lot of the same issues you do. Rain is probably the worst. I use several of those large plastic bins with the snap tops. What was pretty cool about your article is that I built the bench you mentioned "Workbench in a Weekend" about 10 years ago. It not fancy. Plywood and 2x4's glued and screwed with a salvaged solid core door as a top. No finish. It has served me quite well.
If I was building another, I think I would choose like you did. Happy wood working, watch those fingers!

Hello Dave,
posted: 8:19 pm on March 10thI've been curious about Sketch-up for a few months now. My day job is a cad draftsman for an architectural millwork company, so I wasn't that interested in doing more cad work when I get home. But every time I see a new image in the first page of FWW I say, wow that's pretty cool. I wonder how long it took him to model and render the surfaces. Is it possible to make 2d views from your 3d model? Would my autocad experience help?
Thanks for your good work.
