I live in the great state of Texas on the gulf coast. Nice and hot in the summer, and mild winters. The winters are cold to me a native; however, folks up in the northern states might have a different opinion on what ‘cold’ is!

I am always looking for interesting and fun projects to build. Check out my latest woodworking projects list for recently completed projects. Some projects take longer than others. It seems like the wife and kids find all sorts of things for me to do, other than working in the wood shop.
