Hey everyone, I’m Carlos. Most days you’ll find me up on a roof — I run a roofing business here in Southern California. It’s fast-paced, a lot of problem-solving, and it keeps me on my toes. But when I’m not patching leaks or laying shingles, I like to slow things down in my little backyard storeroom-turned-workshop.

It started years ago when I kept leftover lumber from roofing jobs and began tinkering with it. A couple of shelves turned into a small table, then a few gifts for friends, and before I knew it, woodworking became my go-to way to unwind. I’m still learning plenty, but I love the mix of creativity and hands-on work.

Looking forward to swapping ideas and maybe picking up a few tricks from you all.

Glad you are on board.  Look forward to your participation.
