I enjoyed carpentry, and it was very good to me for 12 years.
Honey, some boys stopped by to see you. They had wood.
My furniture, boxes, and turnings are simple, practical designs for everyday use. I love the grain and beauty of wood. Each piece of lumber is a work of art, after all, and I'd like to honor that gift and pass it on for someone else to appreciate.
Our guys took Shop and Advanced Shop. Shop is when you make a chair. Advanced Shop is when you paint it.
I'd love to do more woodworking, and maybe will someday, but I wasn't brought up in that environment. My wife is better at woodworking, and most around-the-house skills, than I am.
I use a retouching varnish which is made in France, Libert, and that's all the varnish I use.
I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.
I really bridled when Parks And Rec became popular and woodworking publications wanted me to do stuff with them.
