Basic Information

About Troy Turner
Biography:
Started woodworking about 2001. Needed a shelf to go over a window so I went shopping. Yeah, they had one, for $30 unfinished. It just happened to be on the same aisle as the wood. That amount of wood only cost about $5. Well, $5 worth of wood and about $400 worth of tools, and boom, a window shelf. What makes each of my projects unique, is because I know exactly what's wrong with them :)
