My Son, the Carpenter

Greg has continued to work on his custom designed and hand built wood working shop in his garage. Cindi guestimates that he has put about one hundred hours into this project.
It shows, too! This table has been finished with drilled spacers along each side to be used for holding wood planks in place.
This is a "dove-tailed" edge. I've heard that expression but never knew what it meant until Greg showed me this which he completely built himself.

This wood is something that Steve, Greg's father-in-law, picked up from the building supplies recycling shop in town for a song.
The next time we visited, there were more improvements made to both this station and the poplar wood table.
 I was reminded of a wonderful quote from George Washington's "Rules of Civility".
 "Let thy pleasures be manful, not sinful."
 This project certainly qualifies in the Handy MAN category.
