onthepequod,
I thought I would use this thread of yours to tell you that I grew up in a metal/wood shop and had a beautiful shop of my own in AZ before I came to Texas in '99. I make cabinets, frames, CD Boxes, tool boxes, window awnings with cut-outs in them, and shelves just to name a few thangs.
Earlier this spring, Rex and I cleaned out his grandfather's garage (neglected for over thirty years) and found a fantastic shop underneath the rubble minus the tools. We have since bought a jigsaw, a cirular saw, a hand saw, some saw horses and a variety of hammers, screw drivewrs, wrenches, nails, screws, nuts & bolts for future projects. We bought some wood to repair the front of the house with and to make our new puppy a dog house. The dog house is done, the front of the house is waiting on me to finish the windows and start painting trim.
I am waiting on a free weekend when we can get some wood to make new window awnings for the house. I have to finish re-glazing and painting the window frames first though! (I hate slow-going projects and the particular window I am working on has 16 panes of glass and is set behind some thorny ferns lol).
Just so you know, I am not all pouts and batting eyelashes LOL!
Moni
