Hi,
Nice to see you here !

welcome to h r jroot

Thanks, guys ( and gals ). I am not a professional by any means, but I do like to play with wood, and enjoy creating new spaces.

My wife tells me that I am a frustrated architect. I wanted to go to university and study architecture, but my dad ( a guidance counsellor) told me that I was not smart enough for that. Then I told him that I wanted to go to university and study business administration. Not good enough. Then I told him that I wanted to study math. Not smart enough ( even though I taught math very successfully and they were my best subjects and excelled in high school). Then I got smart and asked him where I was going to go to university. He told me it was McMaster University in Hamilton ( because that is where all Roots go). Okay, I agreed to that, but told him I wanted to study psychology, because I was always fascinated by people. He told me no, that I was going to be studying English and History. I asked him why, and he told me again that that was what all Roots studied. I then asked him who was paying for it, and when he stated that he was, I agreed. P A R T Y !. I later did a degree in psychology, studied statistics and special education for the gifted, as well as drama. I became a township councillor and a trustee for the village for 20 + years, a teacher of the gifted, and also specialized in math and drama. I have usually always had a small business on the side also.

Right now, I am wondering about what small business I can get going now, that will captivate my interests. Woodworking perhaps. Welding perhaps. I’ve had enough with the antique business. I also had a spindle business when I had room for a lathe, but I don’t now. I also had a stain glass business.

Oh, I am rambling. I had better quit.
