Over 40 years as a self employed woodworker, except one year managing plastic shop, and another as yacht captain. My shop, which I've been in since 1983, was built in 1926 as Safeway #10, in the Quapaw Quarter of Little Rock, AR. Of the 5000 sqft. about 1000 is live-in studio, the rest is dedicated to shop, with more tools than one person should rightfully own, but gets added to constantly. I also have a Woodmizer LT 15 for my personal use, allowing me to harvest urban or old home-place trees.
