About Sticks and Stones Workshop

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, my kids (10, 8, and 5 at that time) and I found we had a ton of extra time on our hands. Instead of spending this time on screens, I decided we should learn a new skill. While I've always done some woodworking mainly for our own use, we purchased a small CNC diode laser and learned how to use that. We gave away many items and eventually had people asking us to make them custom things, so we started asking them to pay. From this, our "accidental side business" was created. We ended up purchasing an CNC router and some other lasers to aid in our ability to engrave and cut wood at speed. Today, we have a CNC wood router, a small diode laser, two CO2 laser cutters, and a fiber laser engraver. My goal as a father is to teach my kids about quality and anything worth doing is worth doing right!Read their story
