Hi Shannon

I know what you mean. Everybody is trying to make cabinets these days, and the work is little and far between. You'll have a lot of competition there with Spidey and Mac both local. Build ya a couple of good strong benches and find a market. Build a couple of High Class boats, and then build a couple of inexpensive types that can get someone on the water fairly reasonably, and you just may draw some attention. Lots a luck!
