Just a guy with lots of hobbies.

Let’s be clear: I’m not a professional woodworker. To use an analogy…

What I am is a guy with a lot of annoyingly complex hobbies. I’ve been woodworking for about two years in my friend’s shop, and I’ve recently built out my own shop.

I love woodworking because it is, so far as I can tell, an act of patience. It takes wood curing and epoxy drying and sanding and finishing. And patience is not my strong suit. I think it’s the same reason I like meat smoking, homebrewing, and writing: it’s hard work, it results in something tangible, and it gives me a chance to practice something I’m not all that good at.

I built this site to sell some work and to sell myself (I’m changing careers!), so take a look around. And please, please, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I love talking about what I love.
