    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Great service

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

The company started in 2003 because I was teaching at Cleveland Woodworking Academy and was asked to take over operations, after 5 years of working there. The teaching continued for another 5 years. It was not my first venture into furniture manufacture, but the teaching did allow for a lot more flexibility in what I took on. I'm not sure I want to tell you my first. Suffice it to say that after high school my first venture went into designing Detroit at Lawrence Tech, and that was only six years after the riots. After a year there I transfered to Kendall School of Design.

I have been involved in furniture construction a long time and I know how to do it right. I have bought companies that processed a semi load of material in a day and I have seen companies that have bought 200K worth of equipment in a day.

I have the use of a shop that has been around 30 years and produces only a job or two a year. After several years of working on a loft project I am prepared to serve you, if the need is right.

I can do projects that might suit you if you need a major project or a small production run. I might also serve you if you need a door that needs a specific design or a specific special item.

Let me know what I might might help you on. I have over 40 years of contacts that can get you what you require.

Those are internet and supplier contacts as well as my own hands.
