Grafton Custom Woodworking

Designing for Your Needs. Handmade Items and Furniture crafted with you in mind. I started woodworking just as a hobby around September/October of 2019.

I really did not know what I wanted to build, just wanted to build something. I bought a few tools and I started watching YouTube videos to learn how to do certain things and that's when I came across Woodworking for Mere Mortals. I signed up for the Weekend Woodworker class and started building. After a few builds I realized just how much I love doing this and I really could not wait till I start

my next project. There was a whole lot of learning curve, and to be honest still is. There was so much going through my head that I wanted to build and didn't know where to start or even which project I wanted to start with. I only have a few hours a week to get in the shop to build and that's OK as this was just a hobby. So when I did have my mind set on what to build and how, I really got after it. I do have a full time job, I am married so I do have an active life. People always ask to see pictures of what I built and I was more than happy to share because I am proud of what I made. After a few builds my phone camera was filling up and it was cumbersome to scroll through so in January 2022 I started loading my woodworking journey on Instagram. This just made it quicker to share the whole journey in one place with everyone. You can find the link to my IG below. Go check it out. I have made a few things for clients, gave away some stuff to friends and family but mostly made things that I wanted or my wife wanted for our house. The idea of doing this as a business was always joked about and around April 2022 I started playing around with business names and drawing logos just to see if something stuck with me. On December 28, 2022 I chose Grafton Custom Woodworking as my name, I know simple right but this is who I am and what I do so let's just go with it. On January 12, 2023 YouTubers Jennie and Davis posted the Box O' Scrap Challenge that I was lucky to be able to enter. This was what made me put my big kid paints on and just go for it. Finalize a business name, create a YouTube channel, Create a website, the full works, make it official.

Client asked me to clean up this big Chunk of Wood he called a Cutting Board. This cutting Board has sentimental value and really wanted to preserve it and bring it back to life for many more years of use. I was able to clean it up, add a Juice Groove and Chamfer the edges with the help of my buddy's CNC at Doran Woodworking and designs. This is one beautiful piece of wood and it turned out amazing.

I needed a way to stay organized batching out pens moving from one station to another. Saw this on a Wood-turning FB group page and thought this would be perfect. Simple build that will make my life so much easier and save a ton of time.

Client asked for a Backdrop for photo shoots. Using my Rockler Eclipse Jig, DeWalt Plunge Router, DeWalt Circular Saw on the Kreg Accu-Cut Sled and my Rockler HVLP Spray Gun we were able to make a nice Backdrop that will be used many time over.

Recently DeWalt reached out and asked if I would like to review some of there tools. As a DeWalt fan boy I said defiantly. This is NOT a sponsored video but DeWalt did send me there Professional Drill Holster (DWST540502) for free. This has 13 sleeves and can be used right or left hand. I love this thing. Thank you DeWalt

Please check out my YouTube video link https://youtu.be/XEwqIasGq8o. Client asked for a Window Cornice with a rustic look. Using pine boards, crown molding and rope molding we were able to create an amazing piece of work. Installed and client absolutely loves it.

One of the pens I was playing around with. Cut up Black & Yellow epoxy into little blocks, then epoxied them together randomly. Calling this "Batman Minecraft". I actually carry it around with me.

Please check out my YouTube video link below of the Desk Caddy (BOS Challenge full build). Full build Video for one of the Projects I did for the Box O' Scrap Challenge hosted by Jennie and Davis. I wanted to build something that went along with one of the first projects I made when i started woodworking. This Desk Caddy was a perfect project to learn new things and add a piece of furniture that I needed on my desk. I am so happy how this turned out.
