Woodworking pics

Here's some of the projects I've been working on.

I'll take some more pics of the house later. I'm waiting for them to put the carpet and wood floors in.

Now this is cool

Dont try this at home.

New house

For the last 2 weeks I've been making trim for a new house. They went with an old style trim which I enjoy making. Its a 2 story home and the upstairs they wanted painted trim so I chose aspen to make the trim out of. The main floor they want stained wood and I chose Black ash. Black ash is a lot like oak except it has wilder grains.

They've added a few things to the job like a TV cabinet with a fireplace beneath the TV. The owner loves his gun and he wants me to build a gun cabinet to fit 50 plus guns. That should be fun building.

I'll post some pics of the job soon and let y'all know how its going. I thought this woodworking was just a hobby. Oh well It helps me supply my xbox addiction.

Came back home to get ready for dinner. Elk tenderloins mmmm.

And later get in some xbox live. Great birthday!!

Where did my kids go?????

It seemed like yesterday the house was full of screaming kids.

Now are oldest is married with 2 kids. 2nd oldest is in the Navy stationed in Iraq. 3rd oldest is in college. And the last 2 (twins) are still living at home but since last summer when they got there license we hardly ever see them anymore. So most of the time its just my wife and I at home. I miss chasing the kids around the house listening to there screams knowing there about to get tickled.

Thanks for 2old2play and xbox or I might have decided to have more kids.
