much college, loved it...eleven years. taught school for 32 years retiring in 2000. worked farm and ranch work while teaching, operated heavy equipment and construction, historic restoration, and doing different crafts as well as shows when time allowed. after 2000 i started the full time crafts as well as the JWS line of custom hand made knives, some furniture and black smithing 101 level using a coal fired forge, hammer on that old anvil. we live in an old 150 year historic home that has been a true labor of love, got it registered on the national registry of historic places in '95, small house but it raises kids really well and always surprises to maintain... shop out back so that's convenient.
