To be fair to the thread thats more carpentry/construction than woodworking, BUT.....
That's probably the most awsome coupe I've seen.
Nice job and congrats on all the breakfast/baking.
As to woodworking, my mother studied wood carving with a local artist when I grew up around Pasadena, CA. I took wood shop in Jr. High but never got into wood carving and although thought about wood turning, never got around to it even though I bought a Shop Smith with many "dream projects" I planned on doing.
I come from several generation custom home builder and grandparents owned a cabinet shop that supplied all the windows, etc. for the construction projects. I grew up on construction sites and spent evenings with uncles at the cabinet shop (located on grandparent's property) with them showing me finer virtues of hand tools and importance of keeping cutting edges sharp (Much of their wood working involved hand tools at the insistence of my grandfather).
They were masters at joinery and although I did not pursue family tradition of building/carpentry, I grew up watching and living the life of "This Old House" in the 80s as my electrician stepfather liked to buy and rehab fixer uppers as rentals. I spent my younger years watching The New Yankee Workshop and The Woodwright's Workshop programs and dreamed of working with wood after college.
After college and working as professionals, my sister and I wanted to pay homage to our custom home builder roots and enrolled in 2 year residential building trades program at local college where students built a house onsite doing everything from digging for foundation walls/driveway to electrical/plumbing to finish carpentry. (College also had a cabinet shop with face framing machine to supply cabinets/doors for the program). I also enrolled in the Solar House program where the professor built over 37 passive solar houses in the county that maintained average 60s-80s inside temperature when outside temperatures ran 40s to 100s due to deep thermal mass pit circulation adjacent to the house.
After the program, I pursued rehabbing fixer uppers as hobby and had 2 houses and a triplex when I met my wife of 28 years during my 20s. I thought about taking cabinetry class to study joinery as I enjoyed studying shaker furniture and mission style furniture but family happened and we shifted our hobby focus to riding quads and dune buggies with family camping at Sierra Nevada mountains, Mojave/Red Rock deserts and Oceano sand dunes.
I still enjoy working with wood and over the decades, built several rolling castered benches for garage and reloading for myself and friends/neighbors/coworkers. I know, I know ... instead of joinery, it was Liquid Nail, 3" screws and 10d nails ... BUT I did use kiln dried dimensional 2x4s and 11 layer hardwood faced plywood for no-flex bench top.
So as to the 24'x8' chicken house and 4'x8' chick house I built for wife, my uncles would shake their heads and tell me, "Really? You CAN do better than that!" and they would be horrified if I suggested I fire up the mig welder and do metal stud fabricated building with metal roof. (Wife asked for 180' welded fence around our last house from powder coated galvanized panels set in concrete, which she got)
More back to wood working ... Before I met my wife, I spent my free time working with a missionary group building churches and houses based out of Estero Beach, Mexico where I sponsored the cost of several trips covering all meals and tools for our group of 8-10 volunteers and we usually ended up leaving all of our tools bought new for the trip as donations so church members could continue different work projects. One year, young children at the church tugged at my heart and I decided to build them a playground made from redwood timber for Christmas. All summer, I proceeded to layout and built the playground that sprawled the entire driveway and into the front yard. After each piece was numbered, they were disassembled for reassembly at the church in Mexico. Although there was no joinery involved, rather galvanized bolts and fasteners, when the children smiled and played on the redwood playground, I think my uncles would have approved. The large playground was viewable on Google Earth until the church moved.
