Woodworking adventures with classic and modern tech

and I spend my days in the workshop, breathing life into wood (and sometimes acrylic!). Here at Dusty Workbench, I create handcrafted furniture, home decor, signs, and more, using a blend of classic woodworking tools and modern marvels like CO2 lasers and CNC routers.
