I'm the guy next door.
Well, if your neighbor has a shaved head and a bunch of tattoos and makes a lot of noise in his workshop all day and night that is.
Seriously though now at age 38 I can say with great pride I am now my Dad. I fought it for more years than I care to remember but slowly and surely I can see the finer qualities in my Dad shine through with myself.
Working 40+ hours a week at my "real" job, you know the one that pays the bills? Plus being a father and a husband doesn't leave a lot of time for my love woodworking but with great skill and patience I do get to spend time creating.
I used to call it making sawdust, and in all honesty it was just that.
Nowadays I head into the workshop with a plan and a sketch and usually come out with something pretty close.
Those are so cool Lilsticks! Maybe you can make some dradles too:)
ReplyDeleteI would love getting a handmade yo-yo! What do you think... can you make one?
Wow! I love your work! The tops look great... my dad would love them. He always talks about how he used to play with them when he was a kid. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute!! We bought some sorta like that at a local craft show when our boys were little. They could play with them for hours.
