Lifetime amateur / professional woodworker and machinist, former member of TX/RX Labs (maker space in Houston). Dedicated to curating and expanding wood and metal craft-ways in danger of disappearance and sharing the deep satisfaction and confidence born of fixing, creating, sharing.
I have been turning wood for 30 years, mostly open forms and some spindle work for tool handles and furniture.
I design and build furniture as a hobbyist using primarily hand tools. The impetus is to maintain my own skill set and enjoy a less noisy process. The process is as important to me as the product.
I co-own a small equipment service company in Austin, selling and servicing commercial premium espresso equipment.
Our small machine shop gives us flexibility to make and modify parts for our clients.
