Whats your day job?

[joiner_sim]

:?: I was wondering with so many wood workers on this website, what does everyone do for there money to fund such an expensive hobby? :?:

Surely everyone can't do woodwork for the day job as well, some might end up going mad, erm.... like me :roll:

:arrow: My day job is working as a bench joiner, making architectural bespoke windows & doors, and everything else that builders may want to fit.

What do you do for the day job?
