3260 posts in 5051 days Location: Grand Rapids, MI I have been in woodworking most of my life. I grew up learning the trade from my father. I served in the Marines from '85-'89. Got out of the habit of woodworking for 15 years. When I married my second wife 12 years ago, I got back into it. I have a small shop in the front room of a 16X80 mobile home. I just started carving in 2010. Carrying on the legacy of my Grandmother, who began carving in her 80's I make games, birdhouses, cars and trucks, and other misc. stuff. -- www.carvingandturningsbyrick.com, Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI Latest Activity | view all »

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless
