As you plan your exit strategy please consider, how many professional woodworkers do you know?

@paul

If you mean someone who is sometimes paid, I used to make parts for restoring old jaguars!

The long curvy bit is for the trunk of an xl120.

Am gluing up a lamination on a mold I made with a piece of a solid core door. Very useful to have lots of clamps!

Each of those curves were made of many 1/8” strips of Ash glued together. I cut down the Ash trees and did the milling, processing to make those strips.

@ripienaar do you live in the Pacific Northwest?

[ripienaar@devco.social]

@paul Nope, your message didnt seem to be region locked though

[paul@tapbots.social]

@ripienaar it wasn't I was just curious, there aren't many around me, figured you might be in Oregon or some other place like that.

[ripienaar@devco.social]

@paul Ah, no I am in Malta, quite traditional here with lots of old school trades doing well. We even have a few Gilders around doing a good trade (wtf)

[grork@mastodon.social]

@paul and how many of those are making ends meet in a way that makes them feel comfortable & content in a professional capacity?

[spontifixus@norden.social]

@curiousbadger @paul Oh. That‘s how this was meant…

@paul We've used three different joiners for work around the house, so I'm going to say ... 3.
