You interested in woodworking ?

Yeah .

Actually , I , uh , I guess I am

Um , it just seems kind of funny that this is a topic of discussion .

Uh , I do , uh , some , uh , woodworking myself

Uh , in fact , I 'm in the middle of a project right now making a bed for my son .

Um .

What kind of

It 's , uh , It 's , uh , it 's , uh , plywood , uh , face , I guess .

pine ?

But I cut it out in the shape of a crayon box

and then I painted , uh , about 8 different , uh , colors , uh , you know ,

the crayons that are sticking up , it will be the headboard

Uh - huh .

I guess he 's young .

and then ,

yes

He 's about 5 and a half years old .

Oh , he 'll be delighted .

Oh , yeah .

Uh - huh .

Now I just have to finish it though .

I got , uh , it got delayed for a little bit and , uh , because of work

and now , uh , I 've got to jump back in and finish the ,

because I 've got it all cut out ,

it 's all , uh ,

I 've done most of the coloring

but I 've got to go a second layer with the yellow .

Did you do it with a jigsaw

or do you have powered , you know , a ,

Uh , yeah .

Uh , I did , uh , jigsaw , uh , and the , uh , regular straight saw for some of it .

Um .

So yeah .

to do the , uh , the turn cut .

Uh , how about yourself ?

Well I 'm , I am interested in woodworking .

I do n't have lots of tools .

Our local schools have adult education in the evening

Oh .

uh , and I use their tools and , some of their guidance .

I 'm an artist .

Oh , okay .

And I 'm very handy

and , you know , if I touch it , it turns into something < laughter > us- , usually .

That 's great .

What , what type of art do you focus on ?

I have a Master 's degree

and , and my projects had to do with acrylic painting ,

but I 'm really interested in the crafts .

Huh .

I make stain glass .

I 've done some silver jewelry making

and I kind of ,

once I get you know , really pretty good at something , I want to try something else

Yeah .

Kind of jack of all trades , master of none .

Yeah ,

well no ,

actually , I get good enough to sell it or have people say oh wow ,

you did n't buy it ,

you made it .

That 's great !

And then I , it 's like well the thrill is gone

so let 's do something else .

Right .

You want to , uh , explore a new field

or , or ,

Well , yeah ,

I , I 'm signed up for a class in pottery making because I 've never tried that yet

Huh .

So you have a M F A in , in what division of art ?

but ,

Well , I , I actually have a Masters of art

and it 's in art education .

Oh , okay .

So , I 'm a licensed teacher

but jobs being what they are , I substitute teach

Yeah .

and that way I have time for my kids too .

And I 've been fortunate that I can afford to work part - time .

I do n't know how long that 's going to last

Oh , yeah .

And , uh , they 're cutting back ,

so I do n't go in all that often

but I 've been real interested in some of those cute country , country kind of things .

Uh , I see stuff in craft galleries for 500 dollars .

and I say , oh no

and , and I go

and I make it .

Yeah .

That 's how I started jewelry making .

I , I love to cook .

Oh , that 's great .

And I saw a silver necklace that had these little teeny weeny silver spatulas and , and , and knife and , and a fork and all kinds of stuff

and I went

and I signed up for class because then again , you get , you know , get someone to guide you

and you get the tools you do n't feel like buying .

Exactly .

And I made a necklace that I saw in a gallery for 320 dollars .
