Thanks all, I'm truly blessed to still have all my grandparents. Learned a ton from both grandfathers. One is a master carpenter. The other has taught me everything I know about the outdoors. My pepaw in the pic is in his 80's. Pretty damn good shape! If ya ask me. He had a painting business his whole life. Did carpentry,but all the real custom stuff he makes he has never sold. Always made and gave away. Said wood work was his passion and if he did it for a living it would turn into work. Most things he builds now days he build multiples of. For every member of the family. Be it for a guy or one of the women in the family. Honestly you should see his house. It's amazingly beautiful.

His shop is unbelievable. Ya, a good bit has rubbed off. I tend to stick to metal fab and motors,but I'm pretty good at it too. It's been passed down for a while. Im a very lucky guy. We built him that shop about 5 years ago. He loves it. I have a bat he carved when he was a kid. He carved it using a piece of glass. Lol. The things he makes are truly works of art that will be passed down for generations. The house we are going to be having built soon will have to have a pretty good kitchen to hold that table and new island. Yes I am blessed. Built a few small things with him a few weeks ago. I always learn something new. The bonus is all the great stories he tells. It's neat seeing him relive those memories through the sparkle in his eyes. I hope to be so lucky one day and beAble to pass on the same knowledge.

Are you kidding me? He's great. The furniture looks like they were professionally done. Well done pepaw. That gun cabinet is awesome.

Thanks guys. He is truly talented. He has a huge sense of pride about his work and never selling any of it. Only giving it away. That's a mans man. Kept his passion as a passion and his work his work. Not many can say they did that.

Cool back story about my pepaw, I grew up in the house his father built,which I was close to until 4th grade when he passed away. My room was the room my pepaw added on himself in high school so he could have his own room. It's pretty neat to look at the walls. They are still there even after remodels we did. They had all the numbers of the football players that were on his team burned into the wall by him. Pretty cool. My parents still live in that house on 100 acres that I ran wild on growing up. Family history is a very neat and precious thing.
