Hope everybody made the trip OK
I'm adding this link to my photobucket. Everything I do at home or work is basically there. The main album and the albums entitled "Renovation" and "other rooms" are my own house "Old work" and "Work Projects" are jobs I have done as a restoration carpenter.

I have a house built in the 1850's and remodeled/enlarged/moved 20 feet in 1906.
My specialty is historic millwork, but I have done many jobs from new homes to masonry fireplaces, to tile, stained glass and design work. I use hand planes to build windows and doors. But I also use all kinds of power tools as found in a millwork or cabinet shop setting.
For hobbies I restore antique reed and pipe organs, and am fairly well known for highest possible quality restorations of those instruments. I have supplied instruments to the Kennedy Center in DC and have one harmonium restoration in the Smithsonian. (you did say I could brag!)
In advancing the cause of the reed organ I have a Youtube page featuring my restorations: http://www.youtube.com/user/MasonHamlinOrgans

Hi,
Thanks; found it on ebay at a very good price; the real hardware collecting hounds must have taken that week off.

Very cool - both the house photos and the organs (I'm an organist myself). Beautiful winter picture in your signature, too.
