what i do, how and why..

[2FORCEFULL]

I also enjoy doing the work myself, fixing, building or just being creative. My son grew up in my cabinet shop and learned to work with his hands. Also learned he didn't want to be a cabinet maker. Went to school and got his mechanical engineering degree. Now he designs, but also can work on prototypes in the shop too. So many kids today have no idea what to do when something breaks or just needs maintenance. Besides working with wood we have a plasma cutter and welder in the garage to play with. My sister has a waterjet machine for technical stuff. A little off the subject,but here is my project I finished today for my grandson for Christmas. Boat I built a few years ago and finally built a trailer for it.

That's just bad ass right there...Hey-Lam...look what I did....I started life working with my dad as a drywaller,...and ruff carpenter....and gotta say... to this day,.. my carpentry is pretty ruff....having the right tools, and knowing how to use them is an art in it's self....I know what good finish work looks like...but it's a hill I can't climb....but it keep trying, I have a little table saw, jig saw and a router....but....spending so many years say'n " The tapers can fix that"... or "it'll look good when the painters get done"...I wish I could take a stack of oak and turn it in some bad ass cabinets.... but that where I just right the check....attention to detail is something I have an eye for.... but not the hands...some of the boats that I see where guys pretty much did everything their self just amazes me...that a nice job you did there....I would add some old school through hull exhaust tips to the transom ,...and a steering wheel....you could probley find a cavi plate on the cheep at a boat bone yard... or see'n what you done here.. just make your own...but not to take away from what you did, as it looks very very good as is..thanks for posting,...
