    yup! its my therpy sessions. i used to have a 26 by 36 heated shop( i called it my shop with attatched living quarters) that i did a lot of work out of. entertainment centers, computer desks- pretty much whatever people asked if i could build EXCEPT kitchen chairs. i never got into them. that work was mostly for people from downstate that had "cabins" up north.
    did LOT od auto repair out of it,too. back then i lived in an area that had very little disposable income. when people needed car repairs they couldnt afford the mechanic so i was turning wrenches quite often. i got a LOT of good meals out of that.
    my shop now is a LOT smaller. 16 by 22. i dont have the room to build big stuff. the largest ive gone so far in the last 5 years is a blanket chest. i do quite a bit of scrollsaw fretwork also. couple clocks i kicked out that ill figger out how to post pics of later.

    ya have a favorite species of lumber to work woth?

    I’m a sucker for a natural pine color. Most of the stuff I build uses pine. I let the customer/friend them see it raw and choose their stain. I’ll take some pics here in a sec.

    They’re actually plastic. I was skeptical at first, but it’s what she wanted.
