I hope it all works out for you. -- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau |

One of the problems with your request would be that most experienced woodworkers have their own shops. You might be further ahead to look for an apprentice willing to learn woodworking and to be a shop buddy. Another issue would be what happens should tool damage occur and your shop buddy doesn’t want to be responsible for the damage. Also Pat brings up a good point about other liability issues that could arise. -- I don't make mistakes, I have great learning lessons, Greg |

Interesting offer. What is the reason for this request(bored working by yourself, safety, learn from this new guy)? If you were in Virginia, I might take you up on the offer. Think of it… “The Lance & Rance Workshop”. -- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane-- |

my insurance is fine to over 5 million in one incident and my agent says as long as we are hobby workers no problem why i want a woodworker look i have taught till i am sick of teaching i still have the grand-kids to teach i want a coworker so i feel safe in the shop i don’t like working alone i think its high risk take that lady who just died in that turning accident she may have lived if she hadn’t lost so much blood and lost the golden hour i want to see someone else s way of doing things i never think i know it all i don’t want a kid i want a mature person to work with they don’t have to be as experienced as me but they need to know what they are doing on their own ya Rance come on out sunshine and no hurricanes \\\ rule 1 if you break it you bought it -- when I am not on Lumberjocks I am on @ http://thisoldworkshop.com where we allow free speech |
