About The Artist
"A Woodworker, with a turning habit"
I have been interested in woodworking for as long as I can remember and first learned from my father. While in high school I attended the vocational learning center and learned to be a machinist, served 3 years in the Navy as a machinist, then went to work at Stihl Inc. as a maintenance machinist. While there I also used my machinist, mechanical and fabrication work to keep the assembly lines working. I retired after 38 years and have gone into woodworking full time and now use these skills with the segmented projects I make. Now I make fixtures and tools to help make the products that I sell. Although dad had a lathe in the shop, and we somewhat only used it when we needed to. About 10 years ago I began to realize how many things I can really make with a lathe. Especially now with more accessories to work with, there are more ways to make projects.
