\n

My name is Rich and I’m from a small town just outside New Orleans, LA. Like most “Makers,”<\/em> 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!<\/p>\n

Now semi-retired, I am now enjoying my favorite hobbies; woodworking, laser engraving, 3D Printing and other tech stuff! I’m new to being a content producer for myself, but I’m working hard on creating articles and videos of the projects I work on and hopefully I’ll be giving y’all some ideas, tips and file downloads!<\/p>\n

If you appreciate my tutorial videos and template downloads and want to buy me a cup of coffee, or a beer to help support the effort, I would greatly appreciate it! PayPal link<\/a><\/p>\n

Custom Patio Table:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/em>
Thanks again and take care. We’ll have a lot more projects for you in the future.<\/em>

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.<\/em>

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!<\/em>

Custom WiFi QR Code burned on 4″ Diameter Baltic Birch Plywood:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\n

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% \ud83d\ude42 I hope you get the contract for the hospital. thanks again, great work.<\/em>
