I have been a "professional" wood worker since 1982. still haven't learned everything there is to learn about making things, love making things.
I make:
furniture, any style
windsor chairs,
my own tools,
my own boat (two, would like to make another),
harps, mandolins, lutes, banjo's, dulcymers and strummers
I also have a forge for making modifying or repairing my tools.
I am working up to brass casting again.
I used to have a motorcycle
I really enjoy sailboats and canoes
I keep bees (if you want a money making hobby, try it)
I fight in Medieval combat armor (SCA)
and generally have too many hobbies.
we ( Dr Wife and 3 yr old son) have moved into a new house so projects should be coming right allong soon (we need chairs and a dining room set, more bookcases, probably built ins, a bed, another bed, repairs to said house maybe a new garage)
Update 8/11/15: just an FYI for those persons in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). I am THL Kai Saerpren (call me "K"), esquired to The Earl Aethelmearc, Sir Yngvar the Dismal. I live in Bhakail. I make things out of wood. I teach hand tool woodworking at Pennsic, And would like to do more teaching if I could find a venue that is appropriate.
