Ha... yea my old man had a wooden gun case built into the bookshelves when he built our home in 1973. Had all guns that werent in his truck, lazyboy or under his pillow.

When i bought a big gun safe for my home, he brought me his old firearms from his father/grandfather to keep locked up.

Ha! I havent been in a while, but he is catchin'em.... when the wind isnt whipping. Ive been workin all over and not up there w him. Was gonna go today but weather shot it.

He brought me a couple bags last week when he came to visit. Im happy to bring you some, but that doesnt replace catchin.

Been swapping between the White Perch & runnin catfish jugs. Good time of year.

Built a slide in bookcase for my master bedroom. Only took 6 months after moving in to find the time. Used old cedar fence boards my grandfather gave me last year before he passed away. Finished product has 3 shelves, each painted white.

Working on this console for a customer. It was my first time cutting curves and I think they came out pretty good.

I did. The pre made stuff was all too big. It's just flat bar and some some little wheels from home Depot for patio doors. A Grinder and a drill is all it took.

Looks great. Curves are easiest to do with an MDF template and a router with flush trim bit..

Thanks. Thats pretty much what I did except I used the first door as a template for the second door. I bought the rigid spindle sander to help with the shaping and now I'm asking myself why I waited so long to buy it.

I don't have one but do have spindles for the drill press. Very handy.

Been wanting this since we built the house and finally got around to it. The cushions were finally on sale and it's by far the most expensive part.
