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.
