Wellcome to this great site. Like a lot of us in small business, if we try harder we will just go broke quicker.

At least, this interest is a diversion from our daily grind.

Hi Texx, welcome to this forum. Well you have a busy life as I read.
Many of us are busy with the jobs they have, my working life ended 7 years ago, so I'm on the other side of that line, and noticed that 24 hours are not enough for me
Parquetry work, do you know that you can make of the leftover pieces wonderful segmented work.
