Just curious about the demographics on this terrific woodworking board.
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.
Argh, sorry Charlie. I always forget to enable the "multiple vote" option. If a mod could do that I'd be grateful.
Public School Principal - about 4 yrs to retirement if the state doesn't increase the years from 30 to 33yrs of service.
In my 10th year of woodworking full-time in my own shop!

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....
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'

R&D Engineer/Scientist for Dupont during the day.
My own Residential Design & Construction Consulting Business on the side.
Finance/Investment Business also on the side.
Woodworking when I can get to it. Usually make time for woodworking about 3h/week.
Wow. I am actually quite surprised. I thought a much higher percentage of us would be retired.
Veni Vidi Vendi Vente! I came, I saw, I bought a large coffee!
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.

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.
I work in IT as a network engineer. Woodworking is a hobby and it's the only thing that keeps me (relatively) sane.
Hey.....Who's this stranger.... Tyler Howell?
