How's the furniture going?? Need your god there??
He does help me in my work and I'm thankful. Building a tool storage cabinet at this time, helps me practice hand cut dovetails they can be a challenge. How about yourself building anything?
Why do you have such a low opinion of your own capabilities G-C. Your deity has NOTHING to do with your ability to make fine furniture. Dove-tail joints are ALWAYS a hassle...as far I am to understand them (father was a carpenter)
Building for me involves plants and trees and understanding biomass (bacteria/ fungi/ viruses) so I am quite content to "build" my garden. Currently working with finishes - Clear gloss v Water base glue (PVA) for decorative purposes.
You are much more clever than your deity G-C...it really does NOT deserve any credit.
Yes He does the talents I have came from Him, yes it is my mind and hands that do the work, but the talent is a gift from God. Dovetails made by routers and guides are not hard, just need to set-up the equipment correctly, anyone can do those. Hand cut dovetails are a completely different animal. If you're gluing up parts for outdoors polyurethane glues are the best, they can be messy.

No GC, it is ALL you.
Do not disrespect yourself by giving credit where it is not due.
I do not disrespect myself, I give praise to God for the talent He gave me.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
