Welcome to my website
I’ve long felt the need to work with my hands, no matter the materials — cloth, metal, or wood — and this new website showcases the fruits of my latest endeavor.

All purchases go towards helping me enter a traditional Catholic Benedictine Monastery, through travel costs and other expenses that will come up between now and when I enter.

Shadow Box Prototype
I spent the past couple of days working on a prototype shadow box for a client. A shadow box is similar to a picture frame, except that it is more often used to display small three-dimensional objects such as jewelry or coins. I decided to use up a very warped,...
