Wood working

I have learned so much from my father. Growing up, he was always fixing things around the house. I loved to work on projects with him and now that I have a house of my own, I find myself being the "handy man" of the house. My father lives close by and we still work on projects together.

In the past few years I have been fascinated with wood working. The mathematics behind planning and assembling functional works of art really puts my brain to work! Below are a few examples of pieces I have made over the last two years.

The original bench was rotten.  I took apart the old one, saved the side iron pieces, and designed a new, fresh bench with treated wood for a garden piece.

I designed a king size bed frame with a beachy and modern feel to it.  The headboard and foot board are attached with bolts and nuts so it is easy to disassemble.  

I designed an entertainment stand with cabinets so I could store my son's toys.  I added puck lights to illuminate decoys and pictures on the shelves.
