I went down to Sanford to see Rob's shop today. First, he's been working on getting it more organized and I wanted to see the progress. Second, I wanted to take a close look at one of his jigs to see if I can make my own version. Yea, I'm cheap! :gar-La;
The shop is really coming along...
I picked up some wood for another NCWW member today at Scott's shop. Since I'd been there before on the April Shop Crawl, I figured I'd just grab the wood and run: WRONG! If you can go in Scott's shop and leave quickly, you're probably not an avid woodworker. :nah: There's just too much to...
I apologize for the cell phone pics, but the time between contacting him about a visit someday and then having someday come was under a day...

Well today I took the ride over to Mike Callihan's place in Burnsville to see the wood he is selling and visited for awhile. The trip was well worth taking the time. Mike has a lot of great looking wood for sale and I got my share (as far as the budget went of course). His shop, which sits...
I spent the last several days in the Washington/Chocowinity, NC area. While there I visited Alan in Little Washington and got a tour of his shop. This was my second visit, the first time being 2+ yrs ago. Alan had just begun the cabinets he made for his shop the first time I was there. I saw the...
I went to rob's shop today. Its only 2 feet shorter than mine. Besdies being a really nice guy, let me just say that the pictures of his work do not do them justice!:new_shock In person they are truly incredible! It isn't woodworking so much as art.

Man, visiting Ivey's mill is almost worse than getting hooked on dope! We brought home a full truck/trailer load of the most beautiful cypress lumber imaginable. Many of the boards are 12+ inches in width and very, very clear of knots. I don't know my lumber grades but this is good stuff...
