<p>Well Jens I guess I should reply.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I worked for Boeing for 20 odd years mainly managing Communications Sites, be it for the ADF (Australian Defence Forces) on HF Radio.</p>
<p>The RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) Airborne radar system, or managing Test Sites for the construction of the New Submarines.</p>
<p>This was originally a Rockwell company but was sold off to Boeing.</p>
<p>An aircraft company involved in submarines I hear you say? well it was the communications side only.</p>
<p>I have always had an interest in woodworking, manly because you can pick up a piece of wood and turn it into some thing really nice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like working with timber some much actually worked at a mobile sawmill just to obtain timber.</p>
<p>Its still seasoning but will be useable by Christmas 2011.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also use recycled timber, mainly hardwoods but its a test of your skills to produce furniture and the likes from somthing that started out as a freight pallet, not to mention the possibility of hitting foreign objects which require very close examination.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So whats my day time job well I am currently assisting a one man business building Cubby Houses, and he does a fantastic job. If you have moment check out Cullens Cubbies and Forts Bulimba Queensland Australia.</p>
<p>Otherwise its working in my shed for myself.</p>

I enjoy guitar also but my style is Bluegrass. Have a couple acoustics one is a Peal and other is a 1959 Kay which has lots of songs under the frets. That one your playing is that a older Fender I think I saw one on a TV show that looked like it but I'm not sure.<br></br>

<p>I'm a Boston-based freelance designer, mostly websites, graphics, logos etc. I worked at big agencies for many years, all the way to exec status...but I've got young kids now. So I decided to reprioritize a bit and go freelance back in March. So far so good!</p>
<p>I came to Boston in '89 to go to Berklee - I'm an active musician, partial to loud guitars and classic hard rock. You can see some of my noodling here:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jmcreative" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/jmcreative</a></p>
<p>Anyway, going freelance has opened up more time for family,guitars, and sawdust. I'm a beginning woodworker, but I hope to develop some valuable skills over time so I can spend less time in front of the computer and more time making stuff that lasts!</p>

I'm a corrections officer at the Utah State Prison coming up on 5 years on the job. I got into woodworking about a year ago and picked up the Kreg Jig earlier this year and I'm hooked.
