What's your daytime job?

[Jens Jensen]

Just thought I would start a discussion on woodworkers real jobs. It would be fun to no if there are lots of professional people using Kreg Jig along with people  like myself a retired  construction worker.

[Jens Jensen]

One way to prevent this is to charge them (If you have a heart to do so)

I am retired from the University of Missouri where I was a manager of a dining hall for the students...REALLY enjoy woodworking of all kinds...most recently I have been making picuture frames for family and friends...got my Kreg jug about 2 months ago and LOVE it...next project is coffee table/chest for my daughter and shelving for my Grandson....seems family are always coming up with things for me to build...love it

[Roger Teague]

No ....don't have the heart to charge....I used to build various things and put them in a large flea market...the owner always said I priced things too cheap...hard for me to charge for labor on a birdhouse I built out of scraps...I guess I will never get rich at this but it is very good for me to stay active and challenged

[Jens Jensen]

You no that's what it is all about  make a little money to pay for supplies and stay active and end up in good health

I work for local government as a Housing Rehabilitation Specialist, which is just another name for a residential contractor.  I have been involved in residential construction & woodworking for over since about 1974.  My day to day work involves overseeing the rehabilitation of homes and designing and building new homes for low-income families.  I do woodworking as a hobby.

I am also a guitarist.  My son, Marc Broussard, is a recording artist currently with Atlantic Records.  I have had the great pleasure of performing with him on many occasions in the past years.  I play mostly jazz & R&B.

I love bluegrass and play it when I have the opportunity.  I also learned the Chet Atkins style when I was a teenager and still play it today.  I have recently been inspired by the Australian guitarist, Tommy Emmanuel.  Have you hear of him?

Hello, Im from Nebraska but spend much of my time in wyoming. I am a machinist for a class1 railroad. I repair main line failed locomotives and railcars. So I cover alot of ground,But in my free time which is very limited I love to do woodworking. Im really just kind of getting started relearning everything I have forgotten over the years. I equate my day job to that of a paramedic. Slow most of the time but it's always an emergency when we get a call. I really enjoy seeing what someone has made from almost nothing and the skill and knowledge that they must have. I hope the best for all and keep up the awesome projects!
