What is your job?

[Victor Robinson]

Just curious about the demographics on this terrific woodworking board.

[Charlie Gummer]

Mechanical Engineer; I design highly customized deck machinery for use on workboats and research vessels. Too bad I can't vote for two as I'm also a graduate student at the University of Washington in the MSME program.

[Victor Robinson]

Argh, sorry Charlie. I always forget to enable the "multiple vote" option. If a mod could do that I'd be grateful.

[Orlando Gonzalez]

Public School Principal - about 4 yrs to retirement if the state doesn't increase the years from 30 to 33yrs of service.

[J.R. Rutter]

In my 10th year of woodworking full-time in my own shop!

[Ray Newman]

Before I retired in '01, I was an investigator for the US Dept. of Education and before that, the now defunct Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare from 1977-2001.

Been making expensive mistakes and large amounts of sawdust since I was child....

[Michael Dunn]

I work for AT$T in Chicago. I work in various different Central Offices installing and repairing telephone and DSL services.

I have been with AT$T since June of 2001. I have a part time business in which I build and modify guitars. Although lately I have been spending 90% of business time building up my shop

I'll post pics when I am 'finished'

Woodworking when I can get to it. Usually make time for woodworking about 3h/week.

[Brian Kent]

Wow. I am actually quite surprised. I thought a much higher percentage of us would be retired.

[Bruce Page]

As most of the contributors know, there is a long running 5-star thread over in the Lumber Yard forum called “Your Day Job”. It’s been a fascinating read.
I’m an ex R&D machinist and current aerospace development technician.

[Tyler Howell]

35 years in the aviation industry. but I' am free to be a sailboat pilot,radio host/DJ and an EMT.

[Peter Quinn]

I'm a fulltime wood worker at a medium custom millwork operation. I also have my own small shop for side jobs that I hope will someday be my primary income. It seems "the man" makes a lot more from my efforts most weeks than I do. Not there yet though.

[Lex Boegen]

I work in IT as a network engineer. Woodworking is a hobby and it's the only thing that keeps me (relatively) sane.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Hey.....Who's this stranger.... Tyler Howell?

Good to see you post Tyler!


I am a field service engineer for a major healthcare company.
