While seldom, I need to get away from the screen to rest my eyes and mind every once in a while. Over the past few years, I’ve grown more interested in wood and furniture building. After a desk, loft, coffee table, and kitchen table, I’m finally ready to “get serious.”

I’ve purchased some excellent books by Tage Frid, some Narex bench and mortise chisels, and a few other necessities to get started with truly hand made furnitureo

This year I plan on learning how to hand make some wonderfully beautiful dovetail and mortise and tenon joints. Then I’d like to apply that by building a proper woodworking bench, a small cabinent, a small desk, and a set of dining chairs. We’ll see how I do.
