Some of My Woodworking Projects

Although by profession I am a teacher and philosopher, I find great satisfaction in working with wood, whether that is building furniture, doing repairs, or constructing a larger structure. Working with our hands is an important feature of life that often gets neglected or downplayed in a society that emphasizes comfort, ease, standardization and commercialization. And the satisfaction of producing a concrete product is a good counterpoint to a profession in which the results of one's work can often not be seen until years later. Yet the two have much in common, including planning, problem-solving, improvisation, and making do with the materials, tools and skills at hand.

Here are some of the projects I have completed over the years.
