Since a good friend helped me build a set of stereo speakers when I was in high school, I have been interested in woodworking. Although I dabbled a little during my 30 year career in dehumidification, I never really dove in until I found myself out of work one Monday morning. A policeman in Illinois had a complete woodshop that I bought in one day and I was instantly immersed in a great hobby. 14 years later, I retired and went at it with both barrels. Since retirement, there have been many opportunities for me to do custom work and I have just let the creativity flow for the other stuff that comes out of the shop.
