Hey Jeff,
I am also interested in woodworking/cabinet making.
I have lots of tools dedicated to that, but find little time or space to really get going on projects. Have a few unfinished pieces to work on before new projects can be started. (I hate staining and finishing). post up some pics, they will be appreciated.

Also used to really be into custom paint and airbrushing but have not done that for quite a few years. I have two paint guns and one new airbrush that I have never even used yet.

Interested in: mountain bikes, cameras, digital graphics / design.
Have more interests than I have time or money for.

Let me figure out how to work my scanner and I will show a kitchen and bar I built for a former employer. Im the same as you, hate staining/ finishing . My grandpa was a master woodworker, we used to have a store nearby that was called unfinished projects or something like that, it was all raw wood products that people would buy and finish themselves in a color that matched there needs. My grandpa did very well in that store selling his unfinished stuff, he didnt like finishing either. His big thing was building beautiful and elegant grandfather clocks

I would love to build a clock in the future. I want to design a modern or contemporary version of a grandfather clock. Maybe a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired piece. Look forward to your photos.

When I am not racing (none now until I get a new project) or helping my brother restore his 50 GMC PU, I am on my pc.
I own and run a website, plus visit six or seven.
And then I spend time helping Red Cross.
I have put a lot of miles in delivering blood and chilled plasma to hospitals and med centers all over Idaho.
I am single and prefer it that way.
Oh and the rest of the time from what some folks tell me I am a worthless asshole, but not the people that really know me.

Doesn't sound worthless to me. Thanks for volunteering to help others.

Besides the car stuff, Im also a model railroader, same as Chris. I model N Scale, pretty small but not the smallest. Besides that, I do stained glass and hot glass, such as fusing and slumping, bead making, etc. I teach adult ed classes from time to time at a couple high schools nearby.
