I just have to say thank you to for all their awesome tools. Finally got my MatchFit dovetail clamps integrated into my assembly table. I’ve been using the Grr-ripper for a while now; but just upgraded to use it to rip ¾ stock on the table saw- game changer! Also want to show my appreciation to for the Rip-cut and Accu-cut systems; I never knew breaking down plywood would be so easy and precise. I’m loving all these tools!!!

Wow, 4 years ago my shop was barely anything. I’ve accumulated so many tools and so many skills since then.

So I haven’t been in the shop for a few weeks because I’ve been working on some home improvement projects. When we bought our house the concrete steps were painted, so we’re the bilco doors. After the first snow storm though all that paint started to chip and flake off in huge sheets. So after 4 years of paint flakes, extensive research on products, and two weeks of scraping paint- we finally were able to paint the side steps and strip the bilco doors. I couldn’t have done it without my beautiful wife scraping paint, hydrating us, making sure were properly applying sunscreen, and painting with us. Our neighbor David helped me the whole day to get through this job, and he’s the best friend I could have made in town. Unfortunately we also learned that we’ll have to replace our front steps; but that’s a project for another day.

Finally completed a custom project for some great friends in NY. They needed a custom sized mail and key holder, and a laundry ladder. So happy they like them.

In addition to woodworking, I am a HUGE Premier League fan, Liverpool supporter, and Fantasy Premier League manager. My favorite day of the week is Saturday: get up at 5am, get a few hours in making sawdust, and then watch my favorite sport for the rest of the day. Doesn’t get much better than this.

After I got my MicroJig Matchfit system in the mail I realized my poor cheap little trim router wasn’t going to get me through the job. So I sold off a bunch of tools I “needed” in the beginning and haven’t used in years. Purchased the Skil 14 amp plunge and fixed base router and upgraded my assembly table top with another piece of 3/4 Birch Plywood for stability. I love shop upgrades!
