I have been in the trades for 40 years, mostly as a framer and a trimmer. Foreman on framing crews of up to 20 men doing custom homes and large apartment complexes. I was certified Corian fabricator for a couple years in the 90's, but i much prefer working with wood. I now own a retail store with my wife. We repurpose , repaint old furniture. We sell stick to anything low VOC paints that are great for vintage furniture, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom vanities. I run paint workshops teaching various painting techniques.
