My first class in Woodworking was at Palo Alto Adult School a few years ago. Having access to all of their specialized woodworking tools really spurred my interest in pursuing this new hobby. I found woodworking an extremely creative activity – as creative as writing a book or designing a circuit. To date, I’ve completed a trundle bed out of 30-year old oak, a customized TV cabinet and a master bathroom vanity and pine wood floor. Next on my list is completion of my kitchen cabinetry and a pull-out pantry made out of Brazilian wood. Ben Warren
