Joseph The Woodworker

• Founder

  • Nov 2021 - Present

  I've been taking a strong interest in woodworking since the spring of 2020. I've gradually built up an array of tools and used projects in my shop to build skills that I learn online. I really enjoy creating things with this hobby, and occasionally have made custom items for friends and family. I also hope to contribute back to the online woodworking community by creating woodworking plans that will help others on their journey to make things they can be proud of.The "business" is a small idea right now, but I hope that it will bring value to others as well as to my family. By stepping into a business realm, I'm hoping to not only continue to hone my craft, but learn what it takes to really make a business succeed.

Over time, I took on more lead roles in some of our projects from conception to installation. My experience working with drawings, documentation, design, and people at all levels played a key role in the success of some of our projects.

During the second summer, the workload was more focused on the production lines, assisting mechanical and electrical technicians with troubleshooting lines. In addition, there were a few small design projects to introduce improvements to various processes in the plant. I worked two separate internships at TKPD during the summers of 2009 and 2010.
