I came up in the woodworking trades as a wood machinist. Did an additional two years of apprenticeship, specializing in all kinds of woodworking machine setup and operation.
Had a gig at one point out in CA making these dementedly sinuous chair parts out of quilted Pacific Maple. Depending on the shape of the parts, often had to climb feed the stuff just to keep it from turning into firewood. Working with that is no joke.
Nice bass. Nice work. Nice going, Calvin and Donald!
