On this episode of Syracuse Side Hustles, carve alongside wood craftsman Craig Donnelly. Creating things out of wood has been a constant in the Donnelly family — from the tree forts he built with his dad as a child to the tables he learned to make as an adult. So starting Donnelly Designs Woodworking, a business built on handcrafted items such as blanket ladders and knickknack shelves, felt like an organic career move for him. In this episode, he tells us about the therapeutic effects of woodworking, balancing being a husband and father, and escaping from his job as a senior claim representative for an insurance company.
