Master Woodworker / Woodshop Foreman 4416 Ih 35 North, San Antonio, TX 78218 From $35 an hour - Full-time Apply with Indeed C. Bobsin Organbuilder builds, restores and services pipe organs for churches and universities across Texas. We've been at it for 34 years, and our San Antonio shop has a full book of work for the next several years: organ consoles, windchests, casework and custom hardwood components built to a fine-furniture standard. We're looking for a master woodworker to run that work and the people doing it. What you'll do Run the woodshop floor. Take organ consoles, casework and windchests from shop drawings through milling, joinery, mouldings, carving, veneer and finish, to a piece the owner signs off on without rework. Plan the week's work, assign it to a small crew of technicians and shop hands, check it, and teach them to do it right. Set up, tune and maintain the machines (jointer, planer, shaper, table saw, bandsaw) and hold the woodshop to a written standard of organization and cleanliness. You report to the owner and are the second set of expert eyes in the building. Who we're looking for A furniture maker or custom woodworker at the master level - someone who has spent a career building fine work from rough lumber and no longer needs to be shown how. Hand-cut and machine joinery, moulding and carving, veneer, and finishing (shellac, lacquer, oil). You've led other craftsmen before - a small shop, a crew, apprentices - and you're comfortable telling people what good looks like and holding them to it.

Precision and stability matter:

organ woodwork has to stay flat, square and tight for a century. Pipe organ experience is not required; we'll teach you the instrument. This is not a cabinet-shop, millwork or installation role, and it is not an entry point. If your background is kitchen cabinets, production casework or commercial millwork, this isn't the right fit. What we offer A full-time W-2 position on a fixed Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM schedule. No weekends, no travel. Starting at $35 per hour, with room above that for the right person. A small, clean, organized shop and a long-term book of work that doesn't depend on the next sale. You'll work alongside a 34-year organbuilder on instruments that will be in service for generations. How to apply Apply through Indeed and answer the screening questions. We'd like to see photos of pieces you've built and, if you have them, work a crew built under your direction - link them in your application or bring them to the interview.
