We moved from MI to approx an hour south of Chicago in 1992 to join our family. I've been woodworking for 30+ years with my most favorable project a family cradle. All six of our grandchildren and now all eight of our great grandchildren have slept in it - in the States of Michigan, IL, TX and TN.
Three years ago we needed to downsize so I'm back to using what I began with - all hand tools. In the summer of 2013 I made my first of twenty hand-made cane . . . during 2015 I made 30, giving most of them away.
My garage is not heated so I do most of the work in my recliner . . . protecting me and the furniture/floor with an old blanket. I do the stain/polyurethane applications in the garage but bring the canes into the laundry room for drying - many times overnight.
I LOVE woodworking - it brings me great joy.
