Lissa Hall Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am sorry I have not been very active on the forum lately I have been busy with many things. I have finally taken the time with the weather today to make some posts, I uploaded a few pictures of the projects I have done and I am working on. some i have not posted as I forgot to take pictures of is a sign decorative sign and I also made a hobbit style pipe made from oak although it is rather plain I do like the way it turned out. I have also been asked to make some shelving for paws4vets to help them organize the stuff for the dogs at the training center. Even though I am not always posting I am always looking at the wonderful wood working that is being posted and believe that all of you are very talented and creative and I enjoy seeing all of your efforts.This site is such a inspirational resource and I just wanted to let all of you know that through this creativity you have helped me substantially with the effects of my PTSD and depression, by not only inspiring by your creativity but also by helping me with a hobby that calms my mind. Thank you so much for everything you do daily and all of your posting. I wanted to let you to know that even though this is a site to cultivate woodworking and creative ideas that though this site I have found an outlet and a focus that has helped with a serious depression and PTSD. SO thank you!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lissa Hall Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 ok I know its not much to look at right now but here is the shop. its about 14x14 not including overhang i made that for my lawnmower and such. the concrete pad was from a previous "ruined shed that was here in 98 when we moved in. we had to tear it down because the roof was falling in and it was riddled with termites. I really can not wait till its all done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
