    You’re a man of many talents. That’s the first time I’ve seen anyone make it their own steering wheel. Being so isolated makes you resourceful. Again, nice work Dif.

    Thanks! That steering wheel looks absolutely beautiful. I love that wood grain. I hope you plan on making more wooden parts for the interior.
    I greatly appreciate you letting me sit in with you while you work.

    Man that eye in the wood is what I love about wood… no piece is the same. The infusion of wood and steel makes me feel like a cat has laid an egg inside me. Your work is like that wood… no single piece of work is the same and your humbleness reflects throughout

    I was betting with myself you'd sand the wheel while it spun around slowly in a lathe...the cordless drill lathe is complete & utter genius!!!
    This is the "Make-Do-Technology" I just love seeing. Absolute genius!
    I'm not at all fluent in wood n timber but the router table looks a pretty cool thing. Some tools just look like they'd be satisfying to use. Finished job is outstanding...that finished wood pops & glad you kept the Knot, adds even more cool character.
    Two thumbs up man!!!
