Miscellaneous Shop Projects

These are just a few miscellaneous projects I have worked on in the last couple of years. I especially enjoyed these projects as I was allowed substantial free reign on the design and construction of the foyer  arch, front door, carved mirror frame and office door.The more grey hairs I sprout the more people seem to trust my judgement. Go figure.




House Photos

These are some photos of a house I was recently working on. The design and the owner's desire for attention to detail made this project a personal favourite of mine. The owner and I have personally built all 68 windows from scratch using premium grade Douglas fir. You would have to see it to believe it.

Fine Woodworking and Fine Home Building magazines

This is the address to one of the most popular wood working periodicals. Fine Woodworking and Fine Home Building magazines have been offering valuable resources for more than four decades. I personally have had subscriptions to both these magazines for over 30 years. This kind of dates me doesn't it. Not only are they chocked full of superb ideas, they are also an excellent source of information on the latest building materials and procedures.
