” Welcome to Dream Works Wood Shop “

Dream Works Wood Shop was started in 2010. I always had a passion for woodworking, and design. What’s really ironic,  I choose to take a different route early in my life attending a trade school and working  in the HVAC field instead.  I was employed at the United States Capitol for about 10 years as a Senate Engineer.  I really enjoyed my experience working on Capitol Hill but left to start my own business doing both commercial, and residential work  in the HVAC field.  Since then I have left the trade all together and work as a Commercial Sales Consultant.  I  remember helping my dad build a few woodworking projects back when I was young, now he’s a retired army, and police officer. He also didn’t choose woodworking  for a career, but he enjoyed the art of woodworking  and displaying  many of his woodworking projects around the house. He loved making furniture and small pieces for family and friends. Dad didn’t have the best tools money can buy, or the best conditions for a dedicated work shop, he did most of his work on the back patio with a portable contractors saw and a few hand tools. I’m sure while helping him back then is when that woodworking bug bit me…

Dream Works Wood Shop received it’s name from my wife Karen.  She thought that name would be a great fit for a shop, while also fulfilling a [dream] I’ve had for a long time. At Dream Works Wood Shop we combine the use of power tools, and traditional hand tools, to design and create custom individual pieces for indoor and outdoor use. Every piece produced is different even in a slight way, while employing sound construction techniques to ensure the item becomes a family heirloom.

We hope through our blog, podcast videos, educational content, and various woodworking and blog sites, we can inspire more people to get  involved in the art of woodworking to share and exchange their ideas. Please feel free to email us at dreamworkswoodshop@gmail.com with any questions, or comments, you may have.

I really enjoy sharing with others that same passion my dad had, ” Building that one of a kind piece”  that I can pass down to my children, family, and grandchildren.
