Welcome to The Carpenter's Place
As a US Navy veteran, with 40 years of experience in the Aerospace industry, I bring my technical expertise and passion for woodworking together to create one-of-a-kind handcrafted pieces. I have several years of experience in the trade and enjoy coming up with new designs and techniques to bring my customers' visions to life.
In 2018, I founded "The Carpenter's Place," as a woodworking hobby shop located in a small industrial warehouse space in Orange Park, Florida. In addition to my full-time profession, I dedicated a significant portion of my time to handcrafting unique, one-of-a-kind projects and assisting friends with projects of their own. My work garnered attention from local customers and contractors, who sought my expertise in designing and crafting special items for their projects.
I am also dedicated to empowering women in the field of woodworking. I believe that with proper mentoring and the right tools, anyone can achieve their goals. To that end, I established the "Tools are for Women Too!" workshop, aimed at providing women with the knowledge and skills to confidently and safely use various hand tools and equipment, all while completing a hands-on woodworking project.
In 2022, The Carpenter's Place underwent a relocation to my residence, where a brand new 750 sqft. workshop now resides in my backyard. This new location allows me to continue my passion for woodworking and mentoring well into my retirement, while still providing the same high-quality, hand-crafted pieces to my customers.
Visit my project library to view some of my personal creations, as well as many other projects I have completed from published plans and project kits. Also, check out the page "Tools are For Women Too!"
