WOODWORKING
I would like Americans to make things with their hands. Thomas Jefferson and I feel that makes
for a much stronger nation. -Nick Offerman
Woodworking, refurbishing and DIY is becoming more popular nowadays. It seems people have set up shop in their homes and taken into their own hands what graces their rooms.
Sites for kick starter companies and homemade items are all over. This isn't a surprise seeing as you can learn just about anything online. Woodworking is a hobby just about anyone can take up with the help of many woodworking magazines, YouTube videos and articles.
Two men, Dave Kilgore and Cole Jester, have found a hobby in woodworking. Dave has had the pleasure of gathering years of experince and being able to even sell his work. Cole, with 3 years of experince, is excited to work on bigger projects and get to go further into this hobby.
By looking at both Dave and Cole we get a glimpse into the life of a woodworker hobbyist. While neither of them see this as a career nor a ruler in their life, they agree it has been a rewarding way to get involved in Gods creation.
Throughout this page you'll see opportunites to gain knowledge in order to develop your own woodworking skills.
