Introduction: Uncle Bob's Workshop officially opened in 2006, after I retired from I.T. Project Management. Woodworking had been a hobby most of my life, so now it became a full time vocation. First project was making and contributing 250 wooden race cars to the Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign. Our primary focus back then was making educational toys for preschoolers. Later we were asked to make replacement legs for Ikea sofas. That became a whole career! 30,000 legs later that fad had run its course and many many other woodworkers had entered the field.
As time progressed we expanded and broadened skills and equipment. We spun off the cutter sharpening business as Seven Points Sharp (we had moved to Seven Points, Texas) and the pressure washing business as East Texas Pressure Washing. All thing I had been doing, but now offering services to the public. Uncle Bob's Workshop is still a precision wood and metal job shop with industrial equipment, accepting prototyping, one-offs and small production runs work.
