Blog Post - It Starts

Would you buy a chair from this guy? Boy I hope so! At almost 56 years of age, I’m writing my first blog. How good it will be remains to be seen. The actual question is, how am I going about turning my hobby into a business? The current answer; I’m working on it!

In just under two years time, I’ll retire from my life. It’s not that dramatic but it still feels that dramatic. I’ve been in the Military since Ronald Reagan was President, but only been doing it full time since George W. Bush’s administration. It’s a scary thought trying to figure out what I’ll be doing when the alarm clock goes off the morning after I retire. Oh, apparently I’m not supposed to use “retire” as it makes me sound old, so it’s “now that I’ve completed my Military service.”

The good news, I’ve found a passion and enjoyment with woodworking. I’m enjoying looking at something and trying to figure out how to make it with my own twist! Sometimes I use plans, but what I like more is building something on the fly. It’s tough to concentrate or be distracted with other things when you’re trying to figure out how to bring something into a functional piece. Wish me luck!
