Hi guys and gals:
I have posted some on this forum after reading much if not all. This is who I am.
I started in construction in 1983 picking up on construction sites and went up the ladder into the construction world up to the point of being a project manager for a major retailer who is now defunct.
In 1995 I went into the occupation of managing community and homeowners assocaitions. In 2000 I left to serve as general manager for a small company. In 2001, due to an injury - not caused by a tablesaw - I started my own company that specialized in exterior renovation of homes. I have had to shift with various tides because of demands and economics, but as I write this I am expanding my horizons and am backlogged 3 months.
Additionally, in 2002, in response to to requests from former clients, I formed a company that manages communuity and homeowners associations. It has been profitable from day one. Do I have a villa in Italy - hell no.
My reason for being here is that I have invested my funds from 1983 on towards the best tools that could benefit me. My collection of the Festools is growing - Bob Marino: more orders to come - based on my needs.
Per wrote about the life of a professional finish carpenter in another forum and nailed it on the head. As a professional you get involved hoping to make the money but instead you get hooked on the art of it. Maybe those weren't his exact words, but I believe those were his feelings. I dream about it at night. I give myself the pep talk in the mirror in the morning.
I have read a million articles and regularly reread them. I may have 25 years under my belt but I haven't experienced all. I frankly have Festools that I bought based on anticipated needs but haven't used them yet. I hope that you as forum members will accept my offers for advice on those things that I can hlep with and on the reverse will accept my pleas for help.
Thank you for having me.
Peter
