Yo Yo Yo...Whut-up CHUMPS !!! Well since i cant keep up with all the chat rooms out there I asked that BobVila.com create a fun laid back pull no punches not your average soap box (so they gave me this). So, please put up a question on any topic and I will try to answer it the best that I can. Please send in your pictures of your latest and greatest. As you all know I am no master and just trying to keep improving just like you. So no matter what type of work I love to see all types and at any level. Just for fun get involved and lets see where this whole thing takes us......

Hey Tommy, and everyone else out there...

So, since I'm the first person to post, I'll post a pic of my first project... it's the kitchen from my old house, I did it about 5 years ago... it turned out really good....considering the only thing I'd done previously was rough carpentry.... but I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so after I played around with some wood and various tools that change the shape of it, I was good to go.... I figured I'd buy the tools, build the kitchen and then have the tools to goof around with later ( as opposed to having someone else custom build a kitchen for me )

Now I seem to be busy building kitchens or refacing cabinets for people and have 2 on the go right now, maybe I'll post some pics of them later.... I want to get into building fine furniture but I gotta get the current stuff wrapped up.

Does anyone else have a hard time trying to juggle their part-time woodworking job around their daily schedule?

take it easy everybody

Dave was worried about being number 1 at least it's better than being #2!

Tommy the show is great, it's entertaining as well as informative. It's nice to watch someone who works the wood instead of "whispering" to it:-)

Well Dave you showed us yours now I'll show you mine. This is a photo of my son's built in I did approximately 18 mos. ago. Hope you like it.

Peace Out!
Ron

The built in looks great Ron! I have to build something similar for my wife's office. She already had me buy 200+ bdft of poplar for it.... which is all sitting in the middle of the shop... I'll be sure to show her yours, I know she wants one with the wall colour or an accent wall colour showing through the upper shelving.

later boyz

Thanks Dave, glad you liked my built in. I used MDF since we were going to paint it. All the trim; crown, base and wainscotting is also MDF it takes paint great but the dust is terrible.

Tommy, sorry I posted twice I didn't think the first went through so I hit send again...it was my first time posting anywhere.

Thanks again Dave!
Ron

Tommy the show is great! My son's favorite was the beaver teeth & dovetail episode. Keep up the good work!

Ron and Dave - excellent work and congrats on being brave making the first couple of posts!

I attached some photos of a couple of cherry chest I built recently.
