Einstein's Hair





My shop is truly one of the most fun aspects of having my own business. In fact I have had someone jokingly accuse me of starting my business as a pretext for buying tools and having a shop.




My shop allows my mind to run creative, it also allows me the opportunity to do custom work for clients. I have a very large inventory of customs knives for the many different pieces of trim that I have done for clients. I have always tried to match exist woodwork when doing new projects in existing houses. It allows the new but ties it aesthetically to what is already there.



I have also made many kitchen cabinets, furniture, and been able to repair existing doors and windows in the comfort of my own shop. But, I have also used is for play. Enjoyment of working with wood was always one of my main reasons for starting my business. I have enjoyed doing wood turning such as making wooden bowls, I have carved wooden spoons, and even done some traditional chair making.



At this point however, you are most likely thinking that all of this is good but what does that have to do with my blog title? Well, I have nicknamed my shop Einstein's hair because with all my interests sometime my shop looks like Einstein's hair. It can have a wild unkempt appearance with many projects lying everywhere. But, it is my shop and my space so I make no apologies. It is my inspired space that allows me the opportunity to use my creative talents and offer my clients some a little extra that most contractors don't offer.
