I am an independent artist/artisan working exclusively in reclaimed, recycled, upcycled and found materials.
i make the useless useful again. i make worthless things priceless.
from conception, to making it to sweeping up, i am a one-man operation - by design.
my work is not for everyone. my customers are people who want truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are made fairly and ethically from locally salvaged materials - with as small a footprint as i can muster.
i will make and ship things all over the united states (depending on size) but i prefer to work regionally (Boston to NYC and thereabouts).
listed on this page are some pieces i've made for others and some pieces i have available for sale. but what i really want to do is design and make what YOU want. let's do it!
be good,
tim
oh yeah, at youtube.com/timsway you will find more than one hundred video of things i've made.

For Vintage Tv Television Cocktail Bar CabinetThere are not enough STARS on this rating to express the level of satisfaction I had in dealing with Tim. Not only was he the most creative person I had the pleasure of dealing with, his passion and professionalism for my project really stood out.
It's not often you get "wowed" by someone's presentation and follow up. Tim has it all: creativity, passion for his work, professional presentation of ideas in video, clear communication and ability to deliver. If you are considering hiring Tim for your project, don't wait too long. He is by far the best out there and a talent like this will get booked up quickly.

For Bar CartWe asked Tim to design a bar cart for us and he did a fantastic job. We gave him a budget and he came up with a great design for our cart. This included a sweet set of wheels made from old water valves. Tim was very responsive and helpful throughout the process, and if we need something else made we will be going back to Tim.

For Chevy SideboardThere are not enough stars to give Tim. He is incredibly talented, thoughtful, considerate, communicative, timely, caring, and creative. The ultimate testimony to him is my current search for another project to work on together. He is a true pro and a genuinely good person.

For Reclaimed wood/steel Dining tableI love my table, it's exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful, unique, sturdy, and tells a story. Tim was a pleasure to work with. Communication was quick and pleasant, and the entire project was finished ahead of schedule with zero problems. Since he had to ship it across the country, he built it in such a way to ship it most economically, which was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Tim Sway Perspectives, and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again in the future.

For A bar/pub height high chair for a toddlerTim was great. He made a high chair for my daughter that is perfect for our kitchen counter/bar and also functions as a step-stool (which we also need). He kept us informed about the process and took our feedback into account. It is evident that he thought about the design quite a bit and put a lot of time and effort into construction. I would highly recommend his work.
