Very nice Bill! Several decades ago I took a one-year one-night-a-week evening class on wood working, taught in a high school Shop class facility, taught by the HighSchool instructor. I learned to use many powers tools, got to be somewhat proficient, have since built our dining table, a couple

Bill, those are real works of art - well done. We have a 94 year old, John v d Westhuizen, here in Phlalaborwa who has been making a living out of woodworking projects small & large all his life. He did his apprenticeship in a furniture factory in Stellenbosch when he was a teenager. He is a

They look really nice. Wish I had a heated workshop. We don't get winters like yours but it still gets far too cold to work in the garage. I designed and built a mud kitchen for my daughter during the holiday. The sink came from our old kitchen. I'd had it propped up on some bricks for her

Nice work on the jewelry box.  I like the look of the finger joints.  Images aren't bad either. -p On 2/21/2022 1:12 PM, Bill wrote: I don't do much photography in the winter. No studio access these days, too cold to want to be outside, that sort of thing. So, I found a new hobby. I make

Very nice work, both the woodwork and the photography. Just don't let yourself get boxed in . About 20 years back I made several music boxes, and found it very satisfying. I also did so carving with soft stone. That was quite challenging and created a lot of dust. Keep up the nice work! Dan
