;) [B]I just joined the SMC forum thanx to my dad, Mark Singer who is already a member on here. I too, design things and do a little wood working.
My first experience on a job site was a loud one.. I don't think I was able to walk yet.. I have collected many memories of times my Dad and sometimes even Mom worked hard to make the beautiful homes we lived in. As I grew up, I realized the love of making things. I went to school to study Architecture and then left for NY where I worked for a large firm designing big projects that were interesting, yet very personal. A couple years ago I started on my own with one project. Since then, I have moved back to be closer to my family while I do work in the same town as my dad.
It has been lots of fun helping my father with some of the projects around his woodshop. Together we made 13 doors, some of which are 10' tall out of 8/4 rough cut Honduras Mohagany. together, my dad and I joined, planed, cut, these huge pieces of wood and had quite a tall stack that we spent a couple hours a day on. We built these doors next door at the house we used to live in; luckily our neighbors were nice enough to let us use the old shop which is about half the size.. I think we also used their driveway when we routed out a rabbit for the glass panels in the door frame. After all of our efforts in the sun, getting dust in our eyes, we had the nicest doors, with the pride that we did it! oh, by the way, mom helped to sand and finish too!
As the newest member, I look forward to your joining your discussions and reading the funny threads, and posting a few of my own on here.
Thanx,
Ryan
