Hey Ya'll !!!
I am 54 years old and have lived in Alabama all my life except for a few months in North Carolina, years ago. I owned BUILT TO LAST WOODWORKS and made a living building outdoor furniture for about 17 years. At one time I had 13 full time employees building furniture and up to 29 part time that painted Christmas, Halloween and other yard art. Got sick about 5 years ago and downed sized a whole lot. In December of 2007 my best friend died of lung cancer, we were married for 15 years. Then in June of 2008 my baby girl died of a drug overdose. The last year and a half have been pretty bad.
I just built a bandsaw mill and it's as close to finishing something I've come to in a while. I'm hoping that cutting some beautiful boards myself will inspire me to design and build again. All the outdoor furniture, gazebo's, arbor's and children's playground sets we built were my design.

Hello Built2Last,

Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding part of your woodworking experience.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.
