Hello there I'm James. I have been doing woodworking for about 5 years, just for fun when I have time. However I have enjoyed building almost anything since I was about 6 years old. I live in Sacramento CA with my wife and 2 daughters. My wife also enjoys woodworking and is getting into building wooden slot boxes....she has come a long way and has now learned a lot and has made many beautiful boxes. As for me.....I enjoy making any kind of wood boxes(puzzle boxes, art boxes of any sort), wooden rings, cutting boards, wood burning signs, and also many random items made of wood that just come to my mind. For example I am about halfway done with a wooden crossbow, I have made 2 loft beds(one of which came out nicely), guitar stands for my guitars, bookshelves, phone charging docks, keychains, laundry hampers, lamps ect. Many things in our home that we often use are made of wood and by either my wife, myself or both of us. I also make knives and enjoy finding different wood for the scales(handles). Along with that I love finding wood that I haven't worked with yet. My current feat is trying a live edge river or waterfall table of some sort. My knowledge and is skill level is average/intermediate, I do ok with my hands but definitely not a pro. I am always looking to gain more knowledge and advance my skills.
