Six-year GAL member Jim Clay has been building on a hobby level since 1978 when his wife Susan gave him a plank of padouk and Irving Sloane’s book for a wedding present. A self-confessed “tool junkie,” Jim runs a custom cabinet shop at the University of Calgary, plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dulcimer. He has two wonderful kids, Julia, age seven, and Thomas age two.
