Rant: My cousin thought I just sanded wood all day
Was at a family BBQ last weekend and my cousin asked what I do all day in the shop. I told him about designing, cutting, and fitting pieces, but he just pictured sanding. I mean, it's a big part, but there's so much more like joinery and finish work. I ended up showing him photos of a recent built-in I did, and he was shocked by the detail. It made me realize how little people know about our work. Maybe we should share more process pics online to help others see what goes into it.
