Building things out of wood...

When I was a kid, I use to like building things. It didn't really matter much what it was. I don't know how many treehouses got built, torn down, and built again. I really liked visiting my Grandparents since my Grandpa had a basement full of wood working tools. I had no idea what I was doing and never built anything useful with them, but it was fun just fiddling around with them...

Well, now I have my Grandpa's tools, and have decided that I will learn how to use them. So far I think I've been reasonably successful.

For the more recent projects, I've been using VISIO to draw up plans. It is easy enough to use and generate decent looking drawings with dimensions. At some point I'd like to include the plans and maybe instructions with the photos here, on-line.
