I started woodworking about 38 years ago at the age of 14 - and did my apprenticeship the old fashioned way - Blood, Sweat and Tears - then some more blood - for 5 years. Stacking, re-stacking timber and making Tea & Coffee for the first 6 months – but as they say that is another story!
No work was available, unless you went into mass production (That is not wood working) – So joined the Army, and became an Aerospace and Communications engineer.
I stopped all that Hi-stress work and travelling about 3 years ago (2005), fell in love, moved to Finland and sort of retired (unemployed).
I decided to start making some small bits and pieces of furniture for the house and found that I had not lost the touch and as they say the rest is history.
I now have commissions coming in very slowly, but they are coming in, it all takes time – and I have a lot of time, with NO stress – This is the best part of my life – No money, but ever so happy.

Hello Tony,
I like your website amd what you do. Its amazing the number of people on this site that fled the hustle and stress of the corporate world to hands on work. I did the same – worked 20 years as a government auditor and ran away to the world of wood. Are there any Wood-Mizer sawmills there? Regards
