Introduction:
With retirement on the horizon, we decided to buy a cabin in the mountains of Colorado. I was raised in a large extended family of craftsmen, we rarely hired anyone to do work for us; we did it ourselves So, with the new cabin now ours, I had a lot of work to do so I looked for woodworking ideas shared by others.
First, I made the beds from aspen logs found on the property, then the lamp tables and coffee tables. The Adirondack chairs for the fire pit outside I made from old cedar fencing. While cutting firewood, I noticed many interesting shapes and colors in the wood. This inspired me to make vases, bowls and candle holders out of some of it rather than burning it.

I still spend a lot of time researching woodwork shared by others, and keeping my shop organized because I am always looking for project ideas and better techniques. Over the years I I have collected shelves full of books and magazines plus lists dozens of valuable websites to share.
