I made a spice rack once and a double-decker 10 gallon fish tank stand! Woohoo! I enjoy the framing type of woodwork better, decks/basements, etc., so long as neither feels like actual work, it's ok.
Bmore, there is something about framing that I always liked to do more than cabinets, maybe because it’s not required to be as exacting. Plus framing goes quicker, looking like you accomplished more in a shorter period of time.

I would totally want to do framing so I could eventually hide all my bent nail heads and miscut pieces of wood behind drywall and paint

I am a hobby woodworker. Had a nice little shop built right next to the pool. Some days it’s hard to decide, air-conditioned shop or the pool.
Dewayne,
Very, very nice... I don't see a long line of people standing in line to take our place...
I guess they will just print stuff out on their 3-D printers...
My shop was clean... once...

“Hobby Woodworker” .... uh, hardly! You are a master craftsman IMHO and that shop is to die for as very few people install their own dust exhaust systems ... very, very nice!

We (wife and I) used to drive through Vacaville a lot when her parents lived up near Placerville. We always stopped at the Outback Steakhouse as Vacaville was about halfway for us. We no longer have family in CA so no more trips up to the Gold Country for us....

Thanks, lets just say I'm pretty serious about my hobby. I work 55+ hours a week driving a garbage truck and don't do any commission work. Just for family. Wish I had more time and retirement is coming soon. The shop structure set me back 40K so I figured why not add the dust collection for another 4K. The only reason my wife tolerates this is that she loves the things I make.
Thats some mighty fine work. I love making small boxes but mine are pretty basic as far as hardware and removable trays and such. I recently made 12 boxes and gave them to family for Christmas.

If you could leave the garage door unlocked, I’ll drive by and “relieve” you of any overstock you might have...you’ll know I was there as there will be packages of freshly made jerky left in the spot where the furniture once was....beautiful workmanship, your family is very lucky to have such a skilled craftsman on retainer.
Thanks, that sounds interesting and I do like jerky. The problem with jerky though is once you eat it it's gone forever. [emoji6][emoji38]

However, you do live in “cow town” (Vacaville), so the supply of raw materials is endless :chef:
Not in my house! Lemon Meringue is one of my all time favorites

Wow your chests are fantastic! I am about to start building a chest for a specific wall in our house and those give me some ideas. Your boxes are also really nice I see you are similar to me; find a good design and then mostly just vary that design. I love your shop as well I have a small harbor freight dust collection system and move the single 4" flexible tube machine to machine. I have also been wanting to try to make a chair in the "Sam Maloof" style.
Dewayne! I want to be in your family!!! DUDE that is some mighty fine work there!!!!

Thank you. I'm pretty full up on family members right now but I'll keep you in mind. I have a facebook page for my woodworking if anyone would like to see more of my work. https://m.facebook.com/Woodcreationsbydewayne/
