It's amazing how many friends and relatives can come out of the
woodwork when they've heard you have the ability to fix old furniture.
I've probably rebuilt a dozen or more old chairs that used to belong to
Aunt Edith or next door neighbor Bart's grandpappy.

Yeah, but the news spreads when there's a local woodworker that can fix
chairs (and fix them properly). That takes a particularly uncommon skill or
at least most people think so.
