Engineering was my most recent engagement, with hobbies in gardening, photography, Chinese language, and learning all things when I lived in Taiwan.

Knotty Woodpecker was created to merge artistry, engineering workmanship, with a touch of simplicity, that can be shared with the world.  You might call it the search for a balanced lifestyle.

An unexpected side effect was the preference for hand tools over power tools, in all parts of daily life.  Being a hand-tool craftsman gives me a chance to escape, and leave something useful behind.
