My Shops and My Work Throughout the Years

- Our work spaces can have a lot of influence on the work we create. For years I worked out of various bedrooms, a shared garage full of other people's junk, hallways, my living room, you name it. I think this kind of set up is true for a lot of people nowadays, when space and tools are hard to come by and most times out of reach financially.
This video shows my work spaces throughout the years alongside the work that was being created at the time. I think it shows that even when times are LEAN, it is possible to keep forging ahead.
For almost ten years I paid off tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt working a food service job and other odd jobs while I built up my collection of tools. Sometimes that meant $50 dollars here, $20 dollars there (or, more often, none at all!) that I was able to set aside for woodworking.
If you are struggling and trying to find a way to make it happen, please know that it is possible, even though the sacrifices will take many unrelenting forms. Hold on to what you love to make, and put one foot in front of the other.
Awesome. Look fordward to more of your work.
Your work is amazing...I am so inspired by it.
I always enjoy seeing your work. There is so much authenticity in it. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.
That means a lot, Blair. Thanks for taking the time to check out the videos and send those words along.
Just discovered you. I hope you do this forever. Amazing!
Cool video! Most impressive progression!! I very much like your style!!!
Always inspiring. It is impressive to watch the growth of artist and studio. I’m busy trying to shove as much as I can into the extra slot in the garage and convincing my wife to let me expand the carving (big chip less dust stuff) into the basement.
Really amazing video, love to see how you started!
It looks like your work puttered along so so at first, then, it really took off. Inspiring.
