Bill's Woodwork

Bill is pretty handy, although we get nervous when he's around power tools. For a good reason!

Anyway, these are a couple of examples of things he's made.

This is not the best picture, the camera was going out when I took this and this was the best one I could get. The shelf is the object of the picture, not my Fenton pieces. Bill has a bunch of scrap wood, various sizes & shapes. He made me a shelf that is hanging over the stove, and he made this one for me last year for the Fenton. It's actually a sort of sage green color.

Bill collects shot glasses. He's not a big drinker, but he likes shot glasses. We refer to his collection as the Useless Collection. He is always in need of display places for the glasses, so he used some more of that scrap wood and came up with this. It's hanging over the window in the office, so you can ignore the green curtains underneath the shelf! He's got many, many more shot glasses with no place to put them so he's considering making a shelf that goes all the way around the office, or possibly on two of the walls. It might be like this shelf, or it might be totally different.

Bill creates the pattern for the shape, style & size and then he gets to put his Engineering skills to use. He's been building a frame for the pachinko machines, when it's at a further stage I'll take pictures.

And hopefully, he won't have any injuries. :)
