Nice work, Dad! I sure appreciate all that my father taught me about building, plumbing and working with tools. It instilled a "figure it out and git-er-done" work ethic that's served me well.

The economy materials in your desk reminds me of a walnut desk made by my wife's grandfather. I moved it recently and realized that beyond the walnut drawer facing were drawer panels and slides made from pine wood fruit boxes, all nailed together.

In your photos I'm most impressed with the insulated garage door and the tidy cleanliness of the wood shop area.
