This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with Sam Maloof while walking from his house to his shop. He said that he retired 50 years ago. Now he does what he does because it is what he loves to do. I am aspiring to be in the same position as he is in. Sure he makes money doin g wood work but he does it besauce he loves to. The money he makes because someone wants to buy his works is just a bonus. You are a luckey person if you can make money doeing something that you love to do.
