Hi , I'm Paul,

Follow my  journey!

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.

This is a space for learning, tinkering, and igniting your creative spark. So, pull up a virtual chair, roll up your sleeves, and let's get started!
