Custom woodworking and handcrafted furniture, built to your exact specifications.

Since I was young, growing up in my father's footsteps, I have always loved woodworking and custom fabrication. It's very disheartening to see how expensive and cheaply made the home goods and furniture offered in big box retail stores is. That is why I decided to use the skills my father taught me to make superior quality home goods and furniture for my home and family, saving thousands of dollar

s and building myself a far superior product. I started building for close family and friends, all of whom strongly recommended that I reach out to others who may be in the same situation I once found myself in, overpaying for inferior products. The pieces I create are not only beautiful, but they are built to outlast the mass-produced items you find in most retail stores. The custom pieces that I design, and build, have the potential to be passed down from generation to generation. My mission is to create furniture that fits your specific wants and needs. I don't base my designs off plans, my designs are based off of my extensive knowledge of woodworking. I will design and fabricate your ideas to the exact dimensions, specifications, customizations, and colors you want to include, making it a truly unique piece that you and your family will cherish for years to come.

For over ten years I’ve been sharing my woodworking journey with thousands of people.

I’ve shown my projects, my mistakes, my successes, and my long days in the shop.

But there is something that I have never shared with you.

I’ve lived with psoriasis for more than 15 years, and it has perpetually gotten worse over time.

Every day, my hands are itching, cracked, bleeding, and in constant pain. Some days are more manageable, while others make even the simplest tasks incredibly painful.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you likely never knew.

Not because I chose to hide it out of embarrassment, I simply never wanted it to become my identity.

Every piece of furniture I’ve built, every video I’ve filmed and shared, every handshake I’ve offered, I have done it with these hands.

The reason I finally chose to share this, is to remind you that everyone is carrying something you may never know and/or will never see.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy.

It’s simply a reminder that most people are fighting battles you know nothing about.

If you’re carrying your own burdens today, remember that you’re not alone. More people than you realize are quietly fighting battles of their own.

So keep your head up. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Don’t let your circumstances define your character, and don’t be quick to judge someone else’s.

We all have struggles and we also have the ability to choose how we face them.

The strongest people aren’t those who live without struggles, they’re often the ones that quietly refuse to let those struggles define who they want to become.

It’s rare to see a freestanding porch swing hanger incorporated into a deck, but that’s what my parents requested, and I made it happen!!

Without the ability to set the posts in the ground with cement, I removed a few deck boards, screwed the posts directly to the joists, and then added blocking to stiffen up the joists and secure the posts.

Once the deck boards were cut to fit around d the posts and installed, I used a 2x6 to add a few 45° braces on the front and backside of each post..

These are the types of projects that I really enjoy… I know my parents will give this swing a lot of love, and I couldn’t be happier.
