My Grandfather and dad raised me to enjoy the great pleasures of Woodworking and Fishing.
In School I always took woodworking classes and when I was in the Navy I worked in the Carpenters shop after that I started a contractors buisness.
My wife said its time to stop that buisness and allowed me to fish Bass tournaments for about 13yrs, after retiring from that (I Still like to pleasure fish but not as a buisness)
I started focusing on my woodworking .
