If you know ANYTHING about me, or have spent any of time around me,
or seen the cool miniature art pieces I create , you know I LOVE craftsmanship!

When that craftsmanship is revealed in a antique timepiece its
game over and a must have! Much of my creative endeavors are about "flavoring".
Its how I do things that have not been done in this world. Imagine trying to create
an 1800's pirate village in a sterile R & D Dept. I have my 1900's E. Howard
of Boston timepiece that runs beautifully for when I need that special creative "flavoring".

I create my craft/crate art mostly with tools that require hand
power. I cut the wood with an old saw. My shop would not even need
electricity, if it weren't for my Dremel
® tool, I use to find sand and cut with.
Also my glue gun too. But that's it.

I build by lantern light, I have nautical charts that inspire me and I know
when its time to do something else when my Howard pocket watch tells
me so. Call it "flavoring" but that is why I produce things that feel like
the time period they come from. It's all in the mind set.

My world is HOT, I mean steamy hot....

That's a fact, I require tools that are pretty much "geographically indifferent" to extreme heat, and temps that
are as cold as whale poo too. Therefore, I have come to depend upon some of the gear below. In my line
of work, I need things that won't fail me, these tools never have.....
