Rick's Woodworks Site Information

Thank you for visiting my web site.

It is through this document that you will learn more about me and my woodworking skills.
I'm teaching and learning new things all the time.
I guess the reason I have so many different projects is because I like to learn.

12/14/06 I've been busier than a 3 legged cat trying to cover poop on a frozen lake. I updated some pages with new info and added pics of my kitchen remodel to the projects page. I have also been busy making jewelry displays, pet urns and other projects for the retail market. I am about to attend the AAFW holiday brunch hosted by AAFW Pres Steve Harris and his lovely wife Sherry. That is why I'm not in the shop working this morning. I'll hit the shop this afternoon if I don't fall in the eggnog bowl at the party ;-).
6/26/06 It's been some time since I had a chance to work on my site. I really should be wood working right now but I need to get this done as well. I have added my latest project pics to the projects page. See Jennifers cabinet link. I am also working on adding a shopping cart to my page as well. This will be used primarily for Wine bottle stoppers and for turnings. If you're interested in a larger piece you'll still have to contact me.
