Click image to see video

It's been a while since I've updated my webpage and it needs refreshing! Well, here to kick off that effort is the latest thing to come out of the shop - a Cigar Box Ukulele. There are more to come, each one unique and (hopefully) fun and interesting.

And after that - well, stay tuned and find out!

Clicking on the image will bring you to the video which explains all of this so much better. And of course, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you can follow what's happening on Open Wood Shop & Old Montgomery's Farm!

THE BOOKSHELF

It's hard to imagine being a wood worker without the aid of wood working books. From all over the world, from different cultures, spanning back hundreds of years, books are a message from the past to us today.
