I just came across an interesting article interviewing a soldier from the 101st airborn. In the forward operating base, he fashions various wooden objects from the scrap / discarded wood he finds on the base. His specialities are small boxes, jewelry boxes, coin boxes, cabinets and gun racks.
He also over sees the base’s wood working shop. He helps and guides the soldiers in how to use the tools and gives them adivse on how to complete their projects.
Check out the soldier’s woodworking in Iraq.
