Here is some of the stuff I've done recently

Like I said, I'm not a carpenter by any means, I just like to build things.

I also like the fact that it comes out cheaper (most of the time) than buying it, and if it comes out good, you can sit around drinking beer with your buddies looking at it, and say "Yea, I built that".


This is a pole building that my friend had built in his back yard. It was suppose to be somewhat of a "Mancave", but with the help of Lowes and a bunch of antique dealers, him and I turned it in to more of a "Manshrine"! We watch football, Races, movies, and it's great for just hanging out. It is a simple pole building on the outside, but it has the feel of a barn on the inside....a really sweet barn!








As I had said before, I really like the Russell and Mackenna furniture and you should really check out their website to see what I'm talking about, and make sure to check out their "Room Views", they may give you some good ideas. Below is a design of theirs called a wave table. I built this one in my shop and gave it to some friends of mine that also like their stuff. I had it professionally painted with lacquer by V/E in Annapolis who did a great job, and Nick and John were the funniest people I have met in a while! It all came out perfect, and the table became the center piece for their beach house down in Ocean City.


Something to note, If you want Nick and John to paint something like this for you, they recomend bringing it in as seperate pieces, and putting it together after it's painted.
