RE: How to series: Setting up a Woodworking Business #4 Deciding what type of woodwork you are going to do.
As always an awesome post...... I tried to find me in there and came up with some kind of hybrid non conformist woodworker. I lean to the cabinet maker side of things but instrument builder and often carpenter too. I have loved wood turning since my grandfather gave me his ancient craftsman wood lathe (which I still have) and along with my 1945 delta wood lathe I will continue to make piles of shavings all over the floor....Whichever direction one goes take time to do it right and be safe....those machines cant tell between your finger and a board at all......Great post sir......
I didn't think to put down Instrument maker or boat builder and wheelwright come to think about it. There are so many exceptionally skilled niches. You are right about machines, they are happy to cut anything. I stuck my left ring finger in my surfacer. Amazingly the hand specialist saved it but I was incredibly lucky. Thanks
