Hello, my name is Robby Pedersen and I am a master furniture builder and the world’s leading historical furniture maker. I am now interviewing for new apprentices in Jefferson, Iowa. Learn to build historically designed furniture using only the tools available in 1875. I have reintroduced the system of joinery historically called triple joinery – which is the only method for producing furniture that lasts hundreds of years.
Apprentices will learn to use the proper technique of hand tools and construction as the trade has been taught for centuries. Master to apprentice and labor for knowledge, from the man doing his trade in real time for 30 years.
My shop, RVP1875, is not only the world’s leader in historical accuracy, actual production, and strength of product but also a nationally accredited museum and top tourist attraction.
Requirements: 2-year commitment
Labor and strong work ethic
Site is rvp1875

I'd love to apply myself but I don't fit the qualifications. I have the work ethic, but the labor part ain't so good lately.
