b"Henry interviewed George Young. George needed to fix up his own house, and so he developed a lifelong interest in woodworking. This interest didn't stop and now he's woodworking in retirement.\\nHenry\\xa0talked to\\xa0George about his\\xa0life in Scotland and England. \\xa0George had a carefully planned emigration to Australia that\\xa0fit in with his retirement plans.\\nAfter he moved to\\xa0Australia, he quickly established his love of woodworking in retirement by joining\\xa0a local woodworkers club. \\xa0He became enmeshed in its culture and community.\\nThe Berwick Woodworkers Club is open to all men and women who agree to abide by the rules. \\xa0You don't need to have skills at first, but you must wish to learn skills.\\xa0 Members help newcomers, and George is very proud that a young man they taught and supported went on to become ‘apprentice of the year' in Victoria.\\nGeorge speaks deliberately and quite slowly, but always from the heart.\\nIf you have an interest in woodworking in retirement, you will probably find a club reasonably close by searching the internet. \\xa0Henry put ‘woodworking club and his\\xa0suburb' into Google and found a couple.\\xa0 The more modern equivalent to these clubs seems to be the current spread of ‘Men's Sheds', but I do not know whether they allow women members. \\xa0Henry says it's a pity if they don't.\\nIf you are interested in learning how to woodwork, check out:\\n17 awesome woodworking projects ANYONE can do.\\n50 Small, Simple, & Easy Beginner Woodworking Projects\\n "
