This hobby was acquired from my Father and my brother. My Father was in the construction business and owner of a feed store after that. He built just about everything… from customized tool boxes to fit his truck on both sides to remodeling an old house. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t build.
I built small items for the home like shelves, coat hangers, frames, baskets, fence charmers, etc. Eventually, I had a mini wood shop with tools manageable for me. I took an interest in birdhouses and bird feeders and started building those from pine and cedar. These are some of my creations.
