Woodworking has been my long time hobby.  I do not specialize narrowly in what I make but, rather, produce items ranging from musical instruments, such as a harpsichord and hammered dulcimers, to tables, boxes, picture and mirror frames, beds, etc. Most of these end up in my home and the homes of my family and friends.  A sampling of items I have made can be seen in pictures arranged in a photo-album.  Click here to view them: Woodwork Picture Gallery.

    On Jan. 17, 2017, I received an e-mail from Tom Coner, who is a tutor for an after school industrial-arts class for 9th- and 10th-grade students. Tom says that one his students, Alex, found a website with several helpful tutorials on woodturning, and he asked that I post a link to it. Great job, Alex. Here's the link:   Woodturning Tutorials
