Retired, well mostly. I am a relative newcomer to woodworking, started maybe seven or so years ago. I live in the Northeast and have all my life. I am a hand tool user primarily, using power tools to do the initial dimensioning.

I just finished this bench

I work out of two chests for the most part

Currently I’m working on a set of night stands of my own design.

What have you been up to the last seven years, Old Flatulent Individual?

Enquiring minds, and all that rot... ;-)

Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. - OldTools Archive -

Great looking bench. I used to use more hand tools but as I get older power has pretty much taken over. Welcome to Craftisian. Mike
beautiful bench.mostly power for me but i am starting to incorporate more hand tools.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
