Over many years, a life time, I have custom designed and built many wood working projects.  I have designed many projects than I did not actually built for clients because of timing or cost.   But I enjoy the design phase just as much or more than the build phase.  I have listed some of these projects on separate category pages. You can select the Indexed BLUE item link or the corresponding photo to visit the project page for that category.  On these pages, I have included the photos I have and some scanned images of either the early hand drawings or the later computed aided drafting "CAD" drawings of some of these projects.
