What´s your favorite part of the Creator´s Studio community?
Seeing other people creations and learning from them, you really have a good bunch of creative people here.
How would you describe yourself/occupation to a complete stranger?
I have been married "next month" will be 50 years, have 3 beautiful kids and 2 grandkids and a crazy dog that thinks she is a carpenter because she takes a lot of my tools and wood from my shop. I´m retired and love to build things out of wood and also love painting.

My shop is never without a can of interior/exterior can of Zinsser stain killer, I use it as a base for all my work, also all spray colors and clear coats.
