Hello, presumably you have stumbled upon my shop. I didn't imagine myself writing a story for my shop as I figured my work would simply speak for itself. However, this is a platform where the individuals seem to sell themselves along with their items. Well that's a bit of a problem for me as my competency as a machine is much more marketable than myself. I'm a very introverted individual. Listening to books on tape consumes the vast majority of my daily thoughts. If I'm being honest that's a retreat from the here and now. It's much easier to focus on history, philosophy, politics and warfare than it is to sort yourself out. Why worry about the mundane when there is bigger things to contemplate? That's the rationalization at least. In the past I was more social. I moved to New Mexico from Wyoming and the disrupting shock of change hasn't stopped reverberating. I never thought I'd have so much trouble assimilating into a new environment. When you've had the same social circle since grade school. It's easy to take them for granted. Suddenly 800 miles seems very very far. Nepotism will get me nowhere here. I have to find ways to make my own mark in a foreign environment. So I put on a interesting book and I toy around in the garage. Tinkering with ideas for things I'd build for myself. The idea of having things I conceptualized and built residing in and being appreciated by strangers is highly appealing to me. I have a very high standard of quality and I hope to prove it to you through doing business. I'd really like to get this shop operating at a level that I could produce items at a family shop back in Wyoming. This would enable me to see my friends and family more often. I wouldn't want you to purchase from me for any other reason than a genuine desire to own one of my pieces, but any business you throw my way would be hugely beneficial to me in ways only the truly solitary soul can understand. Thanks for looking into my shop.
