I am seeking part time work in the woodworking field. I have a very adequate home shop and am super motivated. My experience is in rough framing and building furniture. I do have a full time job now(not in the industry), but would like to move towards full time woodworking, but realize it doesn’t pay the bills up front. I am young, self starter, eager to learn and a very hard worker. I have reliable transportation and a good driving record. Interested in hearing what you might have to offer. Thanks!

shakka, go over to woodweb and check out their job opportunities section. You may find what you're looking for.
Good luck.
I think you should do some local networking and check the yellow pages and classifieds. There is definitely a shortage of skilled workers and if you are willing to learn there might be someone willing to take you on. There are much better paying jobs in other fields. You would be better keeping it as a hobby perhaps.
Find the cabinet shops in your area, most of the good ones are not listed in the Yellow Pages. If you can't find them go to the lumber yards and supply houses and ask the counter sales guys for leads and if you can post a note on the buliten board or on the coffe pot, heh heh. Then go to the shops as early as you can. It might be best to be waiting for them when they show up. Shop managers like early risers and once the day has begun they will not want to spend time interviewing, I know that by the end of a hot Texas day in my shop I am in no mood to cunduct an interview.
Good luck
Pardon my spelling,

Make sure that your next project is beyond your skill and requires tools you don't have. You won't regret it.
