Great service

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

My background in art, design, and fabrication allows me to apply different methods and materials for projects. I work with wood and metal to create distinctive items that will exceed my clients expectations.

A bit of (tongue-in-cheek) personal history:
When I was 9 years old, I stepped on a board with a rusty nail and became hooked on woodworking.

When I was 12 years old, I watched my father arc welding a project in his fabrication shop. After the blindness subsided, I bought a welding helmet and went to work . . .

The first time I accidentally hit my thumb with a hammer, I yelled at the top of my lungs in a foreign language. The second time, I went out and bought a smaller hammer.

If I had a dollar for every splinter I've pulled out of my hands, I could go to law school. Then I would be able to sue the trees.

For Railroad Spike Coat Rack, Reclaimed Wood Rustic Coat Rack

The project was well packaged, and came to me delivered as undamaged. The finished 'railroad spike' shelf&items rack is truly magnificent.....it is beautiful! Both the craftsmanship and the 'old wood patina' is most pleasing to the eye. I am overly pleased. ......and, it makes my leather furniture look good. I would suggest to you that my 4spike length shelf is quite heavy (quality old wood) - and care be taken to its mounting. I am going to secure mine to wall studs. I wish to have ordered a 5spike length - but still quite satisfied. "well done Ray!"
