Sharing another passion of mine. I haven't post much because I hate bringing my Df into a dusty environment. My ultimate goal is to be able to build a few badass telecasters because guitar is... another passion of mine. Been playing it since age 8. I am running out of time here

Very nice Chuong. Before I started farming, I used to make furniture. I inherited a whole shop of power tools from Barbara's Grandfather and loved working with wood. The cool thing about the tools is that they were all made in the 30's and still work fine.
I’m so very jealous. I love wood working. Did a lot when I was in school. My dad could have been either a master carpenter or, what he wanted, a high school shop teacher. Vietnam happened and he got pulled into the military. I have a few of his smaller pieces, mainly a chess set that he made by hand. I will try to photograph them this weekend.
Kevin, since you mentioned that it was your dad's dream...it was my dad's dream too. He fought under the South Vietnamese Army and you know the rest of the story. 13 years in concentration camp took a lot of dreams from him.
He never get to know me because I was 14 months old and he was gone for the next 13 years.
I picked up woodworking probably in the back of my mind, because I wanted to connect with him. I know his dreams. I wanted him to live through me (like most parents always say)...although he never mentioned it.
I hope your dad find peace. I hope mine too. Such a painful history.... exactly 45 years ago.
