I have enjoyed woodworking since my first shop class back in high school. A few years after I graduated I was offered a job as a drum maker. I didn't have any interest in playing drums but I still enjoyed woodworking. I worked for Joe Platz from 1990 to 1997. It was a fun and educational experience.

This is where it all happens...
