About Us


Hello and welcome to our blog. My name is David and my wife’s name is Lori. I retired from the Navy in 2006 and we moved to a small town in PA, where my wife grew up. I have always been interested in woodworking and crafting but never really got into it until I retired. I dabbled here and there, while in the military, but we didn’t go full out until a couple years before COVID hit. My wife is very talented and does all the painting.

While I was stationed in Florida, a friend of ours got me moving with woodworking. I never thought I could do this but you would be surprised with what you can do. We started out small. I would cut out a few things and Lori would paint them. Someone at work would see it and like it and would then ask what we wanted for it. Pretty much was word of mouth at first. We now attend Craft Shows and Vendor Events throughout the year.

I have created this blog to provide some tips and tricks to help you with your journey, as well. I will show you how you can start with very little up front costs and just a few tools. You don’t need a whole tool shed to start in this business. I started out small and have created by workshop over the years. While I now have a large selection of tools, you don’t need that to start. I will be posting a blog that gives you some of the minimum tools you can start with and earn money while enjoying your craft. Make it fun, that’s what I do. The bottom line is, have fun with it. I use it as a way to get away from the world, if only for a little while.

Feel free to reach out and ask questions. I will do my best to answer your questions or point you in the right direction. There is a link at the bottom of the page to contact us.
