For over three and a half decades, the rhythmic hum of machinery and the scent of sawdust have been constant companions in my life. Working for a cabinet door manufacturer for 36 years has not only provided me with a career, but it’s also ignited a deep-seated passion: woodworking. Beyond the factory walls, I’ve embraced this passion, transforming it into a rewarding hobby and even a supplemental income stream. From the meticulous design and construction of custom TV consoles, elegant closet storage systems, and sturdy bookcases, to the intricate artistry of laser-cut wooden portraits, personalized boxes, and bespoke signs, woodworking has become my creative outlet, a source of both relaxation and immense satisfaction. Join me as I delve into my world of woodworking, exploring the skills, projects, and experiences that have shaped my journey from factory worker to passionate craftsman.
