I am retired from both USN and Washington State service. My three car garage has never seen a car, it is my shop. I do cabinet, furniture, and turnings. I like working in exotic hardwoods from; Central & South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. I use both power and hand tools trying to minimize nails and screws. I try to use pegs as my primary fasteners. I am a member of an AAW Chapter. As a side hobby I have repaired and restored vintage wood, transition, and old (1920-1948) planes; including re-Japanning in classic baked on style using asphatlium (AKA Gilsonite).
