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.

I started this blog series back when I first started doing shows as a diary to show what it takes to start up and actually do craft shows. It was more of a “lessons learned” through the school of hard knocks, because being a newbie, I didn’t have...

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...

It’s difficult to type right now because I decided to run my bandsaw blade part of the way through my right middle finger Sunday afternoon. Thank goodness it was just the ¼” blade. I hate having to sand blood off a project. I just went throu...

Was just browsing the website, checked out your site, and got a good chuckle out of your saying! Someday planning on dropping out myself….. someday! But still enjoy getting in the shop anytime I can.
