My name is Jacques - a long time ago I used to be a full-time construction worker, now I only make things for the house, for friends and family and, most importantly, for the joy of creating. I tinker obsessively. When I make things, I make them from wood (mostly), I sometimes even complete them ... follow along as I share what I learn on my journey to becoming a better woodworker.
