Tribute to family

As I was cleaning my shop today, I noticed these two projects. They are prominently displayed in my shop.The condiment table was made by my Pop, Rest In Peace, in 2005. He had just gotten started in wood working when he had to give it up due to medical issues.The miniature shelf display was made by my daughter in 1994.I certainly realize neither of these projects were produced with some of the skill I have seen on this site. To the contrary, they were both budding wood workers.their building process at the time was likely much like mine, which generally comes with an audible prayer before every cut – especially if I had to add or subtract fractions-The point is this. Regardless of your skill, confident and knowledgeable or unsure and prayerful we all can make a special something for someone. I love these projects in my shop.So, don't be discouraged just build.At the time of the builds, Pop would have been 82 and Jylian was about 8 – yes, she is still building with wood.Sorry if this was too sentimental, but just thought I would share my Pop's and Daughter's finished projects.Here's to family. May they always be on my mind.
