Hey y'all, I'm sure you all really don't care about the artists. Dave, however, says that I have to do this, so here we go.

How did I start woodworking? Well one stormy afternoon I was bored so headed into my fathers.... Okay so it really didn't happen like that but it at least sounded good. Truth is I can't remember the first time I put wood together and made something. My earliest memory of building something was when I was about five and I hit my finger with a hammer, it wasn't the last time. Nor would it be the last time that stream of obsenities left my mouth.

Call me a thief, I'm stealing Dave's question: What inspires me? This is a complex question with many answers. Life inspires me, ah who am I kidding, I've always done it because the girls always liked it. I've always gotten more hugs and kisses from my woodworking than my sly ways ever got me.

What other hobbies do I have? Well I entertain a certain passion for horses. I love to ride and will hopefully have my own horses soon. I work on farms as well as my woodworking. Putting up hay is one of my favorite jobs, I know it sounds insane but I truly enjoy it.

Well I'm going to quit writing now and if you want to know more e-mail me. joe@goodstuffstudios.com
