I'm actually not located in Tennessee.
I'm located in Pflugerville TX.
Gatlinburg Woodcrafts is the name I chose to use when I ran out of space on my shelves to store the many bowls and other handmade items I was creating in my studio. I needed to replace those items with funds to use buying more tools and materials.
I feel as though I hit the jackpot when it comes to the people in my community as a whole. My wonderful wife and several supportive friends and businesses have encouraged me to learn and grow as a person and as a woodturner.
In 2019 I brought my first lathe home, a manual belt drive midi lathe I bought from Matt Bailey, a Methodist Preacher in Lorena TX. When I went to pick it up, he loaded me down with several pieces of wood and took the time to have me turn the lathe on and get used to a couple of the tools by making my first pen. I was completely hooked!

I took it home and imediately made my second item, an oak end grain cup with dull tools and a lathe not bolted down spinning at 3000 rpm since I had no knowledge of changing the speeds.
Check out the schedule page for the classes I have available that range from beginner to advanced.
