I guess I would be considered a pro woodworker if selling your product makes you a pro. I am also a Licensed General Contractor and Insurance Adjuster for residential and commercial property damage. I didn't realize I loved woodworking as much as I do until I was probably 34 and I'm 39 now. I took the Saturday tour at Sam Maloof's museum and it solidified what I wanted to do. I have spent the last year and a half at Mr. Maloof's museum as a docent and I can't say enough about how generous that man is.
I currently work out of my now TWO car garage when I can get the time. I try to spend some time there every day but it's tough because I travel often.

Prior to moving into my house a tree was removed from the back yard. It was a cedar which was approximately 60’ tall. Some guy said he wanted the base of the trunk saved for a carving but he never came to get it. Does anyone in the Northe...

Last November while inspecting a home in the Bay Area I found a pile of wood from a tree which had fallen from the neighbor’s yard. The neighbor didn’t know what kind of tree it was but my insured thought it to be an Acacia. Not want...

Welcome to the Jocks, check out the workshops, projects, etc. If you are working in your garage in California that means you can be out there more often than not! I am only just now getting out to my garage here in Massachusetts.

In one of your posts, you said you were from Oregon, but now living in CA. What part? I grew up in the Eugene-Springfield Area.

Sorry it took me so long to Welcome you to the shop… I opened my cabinet/furniture shop in may and have been incredibly busy. I was just cruisin’ the site and saw you live right up the road a piece. And to see Mr Maloof’s museum once would be better than going to Disneyland.

Welcome to LJ.
I have been a bit out of the loop for a while.
It must be very inspiring and such an honor to be around Maloof’s shop and work on a regular basis.
