Back in the mid 90's I was in the process of designing an ultralight aircraft made of composit material. Once the design was complete I bought a BMW motorcycle engine to convert for flying. About that time my best friend killed himself in his home built aircraft. That was when I decided to turn to woodworking.

Since '03 I have been building kitchen cabinets for my wife. I never dreamed it would be such a huge task. Last summer I took a break from the cabinets and built a fishing boat. Because we live on property with steep hills I did not build a garage so the boat was built on our front porch! The following pictures show the progress from start to finish.
