Woodworkers

[Ferg]

I should have said, I started carpentering when I was fifteen. Built residential and light commercial along with many remodeling jobs. Also built commercial cabinetry, mainly for Family Sports Complexes, and about 40% of the furniture in our home plus all the cabinets. Let's see that makes sixty six years, OH MY!

Got into leather because of woodworking. learning to restore and sharpen all the old hand tools lead me to a need to have covers or sheaths for the edge tools. Friends pick them up and cut themselves. I figure if they took the sheath/cover off it and proceeded to cut themselves it's their fault. I sharpen my utility knife blades as I consider them dull out of the box.

I am a cabinet maker for about 8 years. I am just not that sure, if "woodworker" differs between proffessionals and hobbyists, or not. (just interested)

I've been known to screw up projects in both wood and leather!!

I started out in the 80's as a woodwork teacher - decided to do leather work with the kids around 10 - 12 yrs of age. Since then I've stopped teaching but continued with wood and leather work as a hobby!

After my first post I got to thinking. I really can't call myself a woodworker or a leatherworker. I guess I'm more of a wood/leatherpracticer
