Good morning! My name is Brandon and I'm based in Northwest Arkansas. I grew up around woodworking because my Grandfather had a very successful cabinet shop just south of Kansas City. I'd spend summers sweeping the floors while watching wood turn into functional beauty. Fast forward a few decades to 2016 and my wife and I moved to our current home with a 3-car garage. I started to get back into woodworking as a hobby in that 3rd car garage bay and started with modest tools. Over the last 8-years, I've consumed as much as I could on YouTube and I'm lucky enough that my Grandfather is still alive and has moved down here to NW AR and lives with my parents so I get to pick his brain and continue to learn from him. I've come a long way in those 8-years and I'm even more obsessed with the craft and the art of woodworking.
My hobby has turned into a side hustle. I've been fortunate enough to build quite a few custom builds for what started with friends and family and has turned into a list of clients. I now have a list of 13 projects ahead of me which should take me about 6 months to complete. Every client has paid the 50% deposit and is well aware of how far out I am for project completion.
I've also upgraded almost all of those modest tools that I started with. Obviously, that means I've guzzled the green kool-aid and I've never looked back! In the last year, I've purchased:
And yes, all of the accessories to go with it. Tons of Festool, a bunch of stuff off of Etsy, and all of the TSO products. It's incredible just how much more effective, efficient, and organized I am with these upgrades.
Anyway, I just learned about this site and I'm excited to learn more here and contribute where I can.
Thanks for allowing me to join!
