21st Century Traditional Woodworker

We live off the power generated by a mismatched family of solar panels and one noisy windmill. Solar and wind powers the lights in our home and those tools that need electricity. Although some of the most breathtaking wood available is found just a few feet from my doorstep, I prefer to work with those species that have been introduced to the islands here in Hawaii.

I just consumed your entire site. I’m jealous. Your work is as inspiring as your philosophy. I was stationed in Hawai’i for 3 years and made a few trips to the Big Island. I would love nothing more than to move there and set up shop when I retire from the military.

So, if your son doesn’t take to woodworking, I’m making a standing offer right now that you can adopt me in 8 years (one catch, I come with a wife, two girls, and probably a couple of dogs).

Thanks so much for your comments Harold. I usually have some pretty sour woodworker folks at the shows I do, but everyone here has been very kind and honest. My wife is a godsend. We are young (32), (25), with no kids yet, so it’s easier for us to pursue our passions together. She is a make-up artist here in L.A., but her mental support is what really turned the corner for me as an artist. I am re-tooling my website as we speak to make it easier for people to feel what I am about. I do it all on my own, so I figure out as I go what does and does not work. I am supremely blessed with my photo’s!! When I decided to do this as a living, I saw how important it was to have the best photo’s to compete with the high-end shops here. I went to craigslist to get a headshot photographer because they always give low prices to the actors here, and I found a guy who built my first website and still takes all my pictures. He is now my best friend, and I give him my older pieces in exchange for his expertise in lighting.We shoot everything in my living room. I have been very fortunate to have many things work out for me that has allowed me to get where I am. I will put you on my friends list and keep you posted on my new stuff I have coming. Take care.

Thanks for the response to the AP1300 question. you are right on the mark. I never thought of loosening the screws out of the locked position. Duh. I guess you are never to old to be trumped. Let’s keep this quiet, OK? (just kidding) Thanks again and I’m looking forward to your future posts. bbqKing
