I enjoy all that you send keep it up thanks
Thank you for all your plans that you send. Thank you and keep them coming. (Buddy L. )
These are my favorites. Bought a new house with a new yard and am in country so no one can complain. I learned thru trial and error how to use tools. My son no longer gives me perfume. I get routers and saws. Your designs are attractive and useful. Many are slated for next spring. I can’t wait.
All the plans you send to me are great and my friends love them them as well keep sending the plans thanks
