Truck Tailgate Bench

After a nice afternoon kiting in the Delta, I was sitting on my tailgate checking out people surfing, and decided wanted a more comfortable seat for this type of scene. Here is a photo from that afternoon:



In typical fashion, I got carried away and built a teak bench for the tailgate...

Along with a flagpole and some custom cushions...




This is going to be EPIC for Stanford football games.

Sandy Patio Set

I always looked at the trapezoidal alcove on our patio and imagined a big table there. After giving it some more thought, I divided it into two tables to make it easier to fit in the basement in the winter, and to make access easier to the center inside seats.

Built from solid Cedar. Many fun meals to come!

1991 Ford F350

Ever since I started doing carpentry, I have wanted a truck. Actually I wanted one even before that, but this gives me a good excuse.

So now I am the proud owner of a 1991 Ford F350 XLT Lariat, single cab full bed, with the 7.5L engine. 400 ft*lbs of torque... and plenty of towing capacity to move a boat around. (Someday.)
