  1. Got a contract at a High school in 1990 replacing all the classroom doors with solidcore birch slabs. That kept us busy for a while
  2. Hung my share of solid slabs.Heart pine were my favorites.Scored the edges with a utility razor knife rip planed with a worm drive Skilsaw.like Hammer said, sealed them to prevent warping.i always sanded them first before sealing.
  3. I mainly use Big game and Sufix mono on most of my setups. I’ve got braid on a couple of spinning reels and flouro on a couple also.Not a thing wrong with changing up from time to time to keep things interesting.Part of the fun of bass fishing to me is using the fine gear we’re allowed to choose from.
  4. I was framing an addition on the back of a house from the kitchen side. The homeowner stuck his head out the door and said look through the window at the tv.We saw the smoke and fire from the first tower,stood there a while watching and saw the second plane hit the other tower. We will never forget that day.

  9. I made my living in the Trades,primarily Carpentry. Framing,trim and concrete formwork.Also poured concrete ,flatwork and poured walls.Was an accomplished Roofer also,flatwork,asphalt and fiberglass shingles.Being retired now I look back and know I really loved the work I did but often wonder what if I had got a degree what path would I be traveling now.No matter what you do,give it your best shot and learn all you can , you will be well served as you will provide good service to your clients.
