Beautiful! I hope to be at that level one day! I applaud you sir! What is it for? Mine was just for a pump and a 110 temp controller.

First thing I hit up when I get home from work. Even before visiting this site.

I built the strat-style guitar. Started with an unfinished fretted neck and a finished body.

How did you get into it? and what kind of tools do you use?
I was kinda born into it. I have a family (large extended family, too) who all does it. And I tend to keep things simple - I don't do much with the lathe. I prefer the Shaker style - square and light, which is different than the mission style, which is square, but much heavier in feel. I do a lot of hand work with chisels, and I use a router a lot. Biscuit joiner, and a lot of different kinds of sanders - pedestal sander for smaller work is my preference. I keep things pretty simple.

I like building/making stuff. Built my last few houses except for my current one.

Right now I'm about 3/4 of the way thru building my own teardrop camper that I use as a basecamp while taking multi week backpacking trips. Eventually it will be covered in aluminum, have a tongue box with an A/C unit, and fenders. Right now I'm working on the rear hatch that opens up the kitchen area in the rear. The actual camper part is 9'-6" long and 5' wide and 4' tall. The inside front part for the bed is 76" on the floor and a 1' cabinet at the front. The rest is under the back hatch in the kitchen.

Can we get some pictures of you working? or of your work station?

I had another one before this one that I posted pics over at the old FoH. I'm not sure what happened to them. It was a squared off design with no curves.

I also build and fly giant scale R/C planes between 25% and 42% scale of a full size plane. Here is one I had in the shop a while back right before I moved, need to get started on it again and finish it up. This one has a wingspan of 96" and is powered by an 80cc gas engine. For size reference it's sitting on a house door.

This is a gunstock I'm working on. I duplicated it using a DRO on a mill from a stock I already had. I still need to inlet it for the action/barrel and finish it etc...

It can be a blessing and a curse. My house is both - I love having things to work on, I'm getting tired of it. This house was a repossessed crackhouse, so every floor, wall, and ceiling needed redoing. I have only a bathroom and a kitchen left. Then I'll be able to get back to making furniture.
