Awesome! We started with cup holders / resin out of old growth lumber we ripped out of the house during gut/reno and are working our way to making live edge tables to escape the rat race. 12 years of travel consulting for me and 7 yrs of travel nursing for her. Covid hit. Decided I’m tired of working for other people, making them millions. Rather make my own comfort and do shit I enjoy. If you are nearby and want to come check it out - I’m always intrigued to learn something new. YouTube can only go so far 😂

Yes! I’m actually here to inspect a house I’m buying so I can move here next year! So far, this is probably the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to. I probably will have some project I might need your help with in the near future 🤣 live edge and resin is a whole other beast!! I’m also moving here to escape the rat race and being completely burnt out on capitalism ⚰️

Smallest big city with the resources you need (minus our biggest fail. Fort Pitt & Squirrel hill tunnels) Having taken over 1k flights and been to almost every big city in the US. Pittsburgh is still best balance of fun/cost to live/ability to travel - at least if you live on the west side of the tunnels and don’t have to commute downtown. My commute to other states in a plane often took the same amount of time it would have to drive/park/walk to pretty much anywhere downtown.
