Hey Sawdust makers!
I'm getting back into the shop! Over the past 3 years, I've been building my shop, as I have the time and money to put it together. I've just finished my first big project in my shop, and I'm eager to build more. In my adventures of creating saw dust, I thought it would be good for me to get connected with others who have a similar passion.
My name is Jay. I'm a Youth Pastor at a church in Raleigh, which takes up a majority of my time. But on my days off, I have a desire to get back in the shop and make things. My experience in woodworking comes from my time in college, where I was lucky to be able to minor in Wood Furniture design. Under the direction of Bernie Maas, he taught me valuable skills and how to's. My passion for woodworking specializes with hard wood furniture, especially concentrating on jointery.
I'm looking forward to learning from many of you here, and possibly help others out if I can.
Speaking of my first big project in the past month, I built a Daybed with a Roll Out Trundle. I saw a picture and developed plans, which I'll share when I'm able to sit down and write it all up. It's a Single Bed, that rolls out to a king size. My wife and I decided it would be the perfect piece of furniture for when relatives come to visit. Let me know what you think. Enjoy.

Especially with the inclusion of drawers in the bed. It looks great!
