Biorgraphy: Born 1960 in California. Came to Southern Illinois due to Uncle Sam in 1987. Started doing woodworking shortly after that, making mostly medieval-style and Arts & Crafts furniture. Started getting interested in vintage woodworking machines in 2001, and now have a stable of 11 American-built machines with born-on dates ranging from 1915 to 1974, plus 3 newer machines. All but two of the older machines have been restored and are in frequent use.
