Making things with tools! I made my living as a research scientist, but have enjoyed woodworking and building things my whole life. I have always been fascinated by how things work, and inspired by the artists, craftsmen, and craftswomen who make beautiful and functional objects from wood, metal, and other media. I’m always impressed when things are made with only human-powered tools, but I do not shy away from the use of modern power tools either. Here, I document some of my occasional projects like building a traditional timber frame barn, bringing vintage tools back to life, or making something to use around the house.

With the price of eggs through the roof (and likely to go higher), consider building a chicken coop and enjoy your own fresh eggs! Chickens are extremely easy to take care of--mainly just keeping their feed bin and water container full, and cleaning out the waste. Now (end of winter) is the time to start build a coop--it's a satisfying woodworking project too. Baby chicks are available in the Spring; typically at your local feed store. Chickens are very entertaining to watch and raising them is a fun activity to do with your kids. There's nothing like collecting fresh eggs for breakfast and giving the extras to your friends and neighbors. If you're interested, I have a few videos to provide some basic ideas...

Sadly, the B-17 shown in my recent video that I just walked through two weeks ago, crashed in Hartford, CT today. Tragically, at least five people were killed and many injured. https://youtu.be/MzRLD-uObVQ
