Raised into it. My father is a carpenter. I learned the trade from him.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I'm quite fond of the metal sheet storage box I made for work. It's the black one in my pictures. Took about a week because I kept having to pause my project to help out in other areas, but I am proud of how sturdy it is.
