I've done a lot of framing and rough carpentry in my spare time over the last fifteen years but I never had the time or the tools to do any serious woodworking. Last year I was fortunate enough to have both the time & resources (and permission from my wife) to build and outfit a decent shop. One of the side benefits of building this detached shop was that we had to remove about 8 large mature trees, which I had sawn into lumber. I ended up with about 2,000 BF of mixed maple, ash & beech. This is the first large project that I have attempted and I'm very pleased with the results. Take a look:
