A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.
Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Square Reclaimed Coffee Table "The Monolith"I honestly can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with Tim on this project. He is a truly gifted Maker, an artist in fact. Perhaps more importantly, he is a really good guy who takes the time and makes the effort to document and communicate the many steps that go into completing your project. He's got a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to work with. I'm currently brainstorming a new project that I probably don't "need" just so I can work with Tim again.

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 Ebony Organ Key Pendant Only 25 AvailableTim is an absolute pleasure to work with, and the piece I purchased was simple and beautiful. I love the way Tim re-uses items to make art with function. You can feel absolutely secure that when you work with Tim, you will get a beautifully crafted, unique piece.

For Custom frame for military trunkTim is super fun and easy to work with. He had lots of creative suggestions for our project (turning my grandfather's WWII trunk into a coffee table), and the finished product was completely perfect, even better than we hoped for!

I definitely want to work with him again!!!
Thank you so much, Tim!!
