Woodworking
No blame for the Navy... this time.
My paternal grandfather was a cabinet maker and carpenter for the Pullman railcar factories in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, back before routers and belt sanders and electric screwdrivers. My dad did woodworking as a hobby (and to make things we needed) back when I was in elementary and high school, and I learned quite a bit from him.
My wife is a scrapbooker, and wanted a place to work and display her projects. Here's my solution for her.
Another couple projects involved telescope making. See the Astronomy section for details.
More to come later.
