"Hi there! I’m often get asked about my workshop, and I thought I'd give you a little peek behind the curtain. While it's true I don't have a sprawling factory, what the workshop lacks in size we more than make up for in dedication and skill. It's a place where passion fuels my work, and here I am committed to crafting amazing things. I really believe that my small workshop is a testament to the fact that ability and enthusiasm are what truly matter."

“You know, at the end of each shift, after I've completed a piece, there's always that 'clean-up' time. I actually enjoy it, because it's about prepping for more creativity! I make sure everything is put away, tools are in their place, and the workspace is nice and tidy. It's all about ensuring that the workshop is ready for the next creation to take shape – a fresh start is always a good thing, right?"

I'm really particular about the tools in my workshop! Over the years, I've carefully selected each one, some for general use and others for specific projects. Whether it's a hand tool or a piece of power equipment, I always prioritize quality and how well it fits my needs. Since space is at a premium, every tool has a purpose and a place. I think that my experience has helped me to create a collection that's not only useful, but also efficient and right for anyone who comes to work here.

Before I list these out, I need to confirm that I have no affiliation with any of these companies and will receive nothing from them if you click on the links. I have bought all these tools myself and none have been given as part of any review.
