I am a full time, self employed woodworker. My company's core business is custom closets, pantries, laundry rooms, garages, and home offices. I build a couple kitchens each year along with a few entertainment centers.
I spent 28 years in the telecommunications field. One day I decided to walk away from the corporate world and start a business. I didn't retire, I just dropped out and went in a new direction. My business has grown significantly over the past 7 years.
I started doing craft shows in 2008 with promising success. I specialize in end grain cutting boards and work with this business during slow periods on the closet side.

A while back someone asked a forum question about what everyone does with their scrap wood and cutoffs. The overwhelming response was for inlay pieces, or firewood. I also do the same thing, but last fall I gathered up some scrap and made up boo...

I’ve had a few emails lately from LJs asking why I have been suspiciously quiet for the last few months. I just didn’t have anything to write about. I use to say that everything I know I learned in kindergarten. However, I just recently learned...
