I've lurked here for a couple months, and finally got registered. One of the things I love about this site is the use of real names. Anyway, I'm a semi-retired consultant, doing some highly specialized public policy work. Formerly a congressional chief of staff, before that most of my life in farming and ranching, and flying (as a natural resource pilot). My father was/is a tremendous craftsman and my wife was always after me to build things like him. I resisted for a long time, probably not wanting to hold myself to his standards. I finally gave into the urges though, and begin woodworking about 10 years ago. I make mostly furniture, craftsman inspired but with a lot of my own designs, from cherry, walnut, qs white oak and maple. I've also built/remodeled three houses for our children in the past two years, since this semi retirement begin. I'll try posting a few shop and project pictures.
