I was inspired to make a sign for my long time friend @tobyhewittmusic. He is a great musician and even better friend. The music in the video is one of his original works. If you live in the Chattanooga, TN area check him out at one of his performances. Video here. https://youtu.be/GVi8kYPEUOU

Finished the Entry Door Mirror with coat hooks. I love this design. The finish is the natural color of the wood, cedar. With a clear coat of polyurethane. I like the double coat hooks over the single for more holding capacity. #trail47 #thegarageengineer

This was shot during soccer season when the weather was warmer than today. The sun that day was so warm against the cool wind.
