When I was a kid I used to stare at my grandpa’s callused stained sausage finger hands and think, “how does grandma let him touch her with those things!” These are just hands of a proud blue collar workin man and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Teach your kids it’s ok to get your hands dirty. Get some blisters, scars, stains, it connects you to what life used to be all about, hard work. It doesn’t get any more simple and satisfying than that.

My interior finish/millwork set up. It’s like a wood shop in a bite size and mobile form. miter saw set up with the vacuum dust collector. My near 20 year old table saw that refuses to die that I equipped with a dust collector from plugged into a switch that kicks it on when you fire up the saw. I cover the bottom of the saw for added dust protection with a trash bag, slightly ghetto but it works. I add a .woodworking dust fan to catch fine particles that become airborne. Lastly, for a work table to lay out my crown miters, mortising, sanding, jamb builds and whatever else, I use a pair of recycled bi-fold doors. These fold up small for transport and are easy to store away. As you can see in the photos, I still get some dust that escapes here and there mostly from hand power tools but it’s small potatoes compared to what happens without this set up. I do what I can to keep it clean and organized when inside clients homes. Oh ya, can’t forget about a job site microwave, nothing beats a warm meal on a cold winters day.
