I thought from reading on here you flew helicopters?

You'd really think beating blades over your head would be something you would be very aware of.

My favorite presents were the one's My husband made me!!!! After more than 25 years together I still have all of them. Much better than stor bought.

"Happy birthday dear, here's your present!"

"I know you joke around about how you don't want me around and all, but srsly? A casket?"

Having seen that masterpiece, Doug, I am even more grateful for your compliment in my 'Wall' thread
I LOVE working with wood, but it has just become tooooo expensive here now. I have four 4x4 inch 12 ft lengths of English oak in my garage...but no boards to made anything good with
Really very very nice craftsmanship, I applaud your talent

Very nice, I never made anything that big but I made a few small boxes when I was in the service. I would make them out of left overs. Teak and Maple were my favorites, I did make a few pine boxes and some white oak but mostly we had a lot of mahogany left over. I never got use to the smell of mahogany, running a router for 4 hours a day will do that to you. We made a lot of plaques and the mahogany didn't warp as bad as oak when it got wet. The one time we had some black walnut in the shop and I got just enough to make a box out of it and some white maple. We lost it in our house fire or I would post some pictures, it was the only one I hung on to when I left the Navy. It was thick, none of her rings inside were damaged but it never was fully on fire. I miss working with wood but I cant take the smell of some of them, they make me sneeze.
