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.
