Wow Jay!  I've only been doing this a couple of years. I know I have a LOT to learn.

I have to agree with you on the plans thing.  I do not build from plans either and in my my way of thinking, it's building things by your own methods is really what sets you apart from others and makes your projects a "one of a kind" .  It is not building something that someone else has already built but is truly your own creation.  I been doing this over 20 years and never use plans.  I always strive to build each item differently for my customer so the it is a "ONE OF A KIND".  Makes life more enjoyable when you can work using this method.  I have found that my customers like this idea that when they get something from me they are getting a true custom piece and that it is not a duplicate that some one else has. 

It is nice to see someone whom is not bothered by not having a plan to build but can figure out their own.  Thanks again for sharing your work and look forward to seeing more.

Thank you Jay.  I rarely build from scratch. I don't like following "plans" I like repurposing things "my" way.

Excellent job there Gail,  It is nice to see someone whom is working at reclaiming old things and making new uses for them.  It does take some talent and some imagination in order to do what you have done in these two projects.  Excellent work with ideas that are useful and attractive.  Thanks for posting.
