Video of My Dad

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I recently located some lost treasures in my attic.  I’d been hunting since we moved for this piece of video which is of my Dad a few months before he passed away unexpectly.  This video is boring in the extreme except to those of us who loved my Dad so dearly.  It surprises me to [...]

And what a day they had!  There were 6 people on the boat, though 3 of them spent most of the time [...]

Heirlooms Created by Chuck

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

These photos don’t do the pieces justice that Chuck has been building.  He only took up woodworking after retiring and has become as accomplished as most professionals.  He likes to have a new challenge in each piece he designs and builds.  He spends a good amount of time creating the piece in CAD on the [...]
