I like Celtic and Viking style decoration, and Shaker design.

Cherry's my favorite.

Mostly hand tools, but I definitely prefer power tools for gross dimensioning and repeat operations.

I prefer natural finishes - tung oil, beeswax, Tried & True Varnish Oil, etc. Haven't played with shellac yet, but I do have some, so I'll remedy that soon enough.

-- I have some idea what I'm doing.

    01-09-2016 07:49 PM by Alan

    The Rules of Work

    11-23-2014 03:30 AM by Alan

    This is just a list of rules that I have either come across or thought of for myself that I need to keep in mind at all times when (trying to) do fine woodworking. This list is mostly for my own reference, and in no way to be considered exhaustiv...

    Lessons Learned

    11-22-2014 02:30 AM by Alan

    So for the past week, I have been working with another woodworker on some raised-panel cabinet doors my mom contracted him to build. I have learned many things, albeit not the things I expected to learn. First, when you’re building fine ...
