About Me

Hi! My name is Rich and I’m from a small town just outside New Orleans, LA. And like most “Makers,” woodworking and hobby enthusiasts, I have always enjoyed working with my hands and creating things. Starting in Shop Class over 60 years ago and still going strong, I just love taking a piece of wood or a tech gadget and making something unique!


Now retired, I am enjoying my 30+ year hobby, laser engraving and my other favorite hobbies; woodworking, 3D Printing and other tech stuff! I’m also a YouTube content producer, and hopefully I am creating videos that will give y’all some ideas and tips!


Here’s what a few of my friends & customers have to say about my work

Hi Rich, the work you did on our front door is just amazing! I thought we were going to have to replace both doors, but the thought of replacing 200 year old doors with new ones was just breaking my heart. I love the way you matched the wood and the stain and aged it to perfection. When Lydia recommended you I was hesitant, since you’re not a business, but meeting you in person and seeing how obsessed you were with the doors, and seeing Lydia’s table made me feel much better. I’m so happy we gave the job to you! This old house is going to send a lot more work your way! Thanks again.

Hey Rich, thank you so much for the shower tile engravings. I never thought this was even possible, but I think we have the most unique shower anywhere! All of our guests that use the bathroom come out praising the tile work. Even the installer loved it and asked for your name. Great job buddy.

Thanks for the very unique and personalized wooden key cutting boards. They are a hit with our home buyers. Our agents love them, and we’ll be ordering more monthly.

When you said the patio table would be an upscale, custom one of a kind, you weren’t kidding! Upscale isn’t the word for it! It’s a work of art! My wife and I are so happy we commissioned you with the job.
Thanks again and take care. We’ll have a lot more projects for you in the future.

Thanks for the headboard and bed frame. The cherry finish is wonderful and we love all the detail work. I think we’ll go ahead and order the nightstands now.

I just can’t believe you were able to reproduce these bro! I’m glad we had that chat at the car show. Saved me $3500! Way to go man!

I’m so glad we got to take down those handmade wifi papers around the office and in the waiting rooms. They were just so tacky, and nobody ever got the password right. The doctors love them and all the patients have been commenting on them. IT was wondering why our wifi usage was up over 6000% 🙂 I hope you get the contract for the hospital. thanks again, great work.

Those baseball bat trophies you made for the little league teams were off the charts Rich. Thank you for your support from PARD and all the happy kids!

This is just a small sampling of the comments I have gotten by email. I have done over 5,000 unique weekend projects in the past 35 years for friends and family, many of them return customers. I look forward to this next chapter of my life, making videos.
