Spent 30 years as a mid level manager for a now defunct steel company. Used the skills learned from a life long advocation to woodworking to form a general contracting company to keep me occupied after retiring form the steel mill jaunt. Have a 1500 foot shop in the basement that includes about anything a non turner could use. Recently finished a run of political signs for my son's run for a non-partisan seat of the local school board. He won. Looks like the signs helped. Update.......now he has been elected President ......... don't think he will run again.
