Go ahead. Make protag's Dad a woodworker. Because if you do it right, you'll make the plot hinge on something that requires a lot of research, the checking and rechecking and working out of which will drive you nuttier than the brain research did.

Woodworking. Not carpentry.

And so it goes...

Lee Valley Tools (http://www.leevalley.com/) is your friend on this. Cool place even if you're not into woodwork.

Thanks!

I also get a Japanese workworker's catalog. I bought one saw a few years ago, and am now on their list.
