Our story started back in 2005 when my son, Patrick, and his grandfather (my amazing Dad!) handmade a Continental USA.

Map from recycled license plates. It was meant to be a simple family project, but the attention it received in our small second-hand shop was overwhelming. That single map sparked an unexpected journey from the corporate world to a dusty, happy workshop. After the company I worked for closed in 2007, I joined my 80-year-old father, who was turning his license plate hobby into a side hustle. Learning to cut and work with raw metal and wood wasn't easy-it was messy, dusty work-but it was honest. I traded my suit and corporate pressure for tools and sawdust, and I never looked back. That season taught me how to create truly unique, handmade items and gave me a fresh start.
