The continuing story of DeVore's descent into woodcraft madness...

DeVore · 2014-09-02 15:13:48

I posted a while back about getting into woodcraft and buying a lathe etc. I wanted to let people know how things have gone and see some of the stuff I've made. Now, i'm not naturally gifted at arts and crafts, far from it I'm a major computer nerd :) ... but I've really been surprised and happy with how much you can…
