I went through a list of the most popular portfolio based themes that I found at the site list below. I eventually settled on the Argent theme. After updating to the theme I changed the fonts and altered the header image to fit better.
All of my pages have been updated with pictures and I have added a page for most of my woodworking projects. I still have a few projects I need to find pictures for and will create pages for those when I find the pictures.
I added a blog post with a video of me applying veneer to the dining table project. I added a few widgets and an email link to the bottom area of the theme and added a site icon. I cleaned up the picture layout on some pages. I added tags and categories to most of the project pages and blog posts.
