Dude! YOU MUST WRITE ABOUT THIS. Tag me so I can read it.

You should see the stuff my husband has made by hand for our house -- if you read my kitchen remodel story, which I link to somewhere in these comments, you can see some of his work. And of course he built a remarkable treehouse, pergola etc in our back yard, plus the deck furniture, plus all the stuff for his studio out of scrap wood. It's so great!
