dcustoms Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hello all! I thought I would introduce my self. My name is Dustin and I have been a woodworker for 10 years and just recently went pro. I, like most of you, really enjoy talking about woodworking so this forum looks like the right place for me.

PMR Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Do you have a shop or storefront open to the public??? I'm about 20 minutes from Homewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcustoms Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 My shop is not normally open to the public just customers as needed but you are more than welcome to stop by some time if you would like. I am in the process of trying to rearrange my shop to accommodate a new planer and band saw so a second set of eyes is always welcome. feel free to email me at dustin@dunigancustoms.com.

duckkisser Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 shoot i think that the wood workers in the area should all get together to meet and perhaps talk about how we all got started. and just chew the fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMR Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 There was talk of it here, but I don't think it materialized. I'd be up for trying for a meet up at a Culvers or someplace. I can't guarantee I can always make things as I am oncall for work usually two or three weeks per month and never know when I will be out...

duckkisser Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 hey wayne just went and saw dustins shop nice set up its just in his garage like most of us but very organized and clean.....he cleaned it by seting it on fire or at least thats what it aparently looked like from near by houses. dustin helped me out a bit and we had fun chewing the fat and a burger hopefully i can help him out since he gave me a few connections and tips plus he sent me on my way with a couple pieces of scrap for my identifiction board. thanks dustin and i hope you get the job so i can give you some pointers in that field.
