John's Story
John is a carpenter who works out of the Fuse33 space. Using reclaimed wood, John breathes new life into forgotten treasures, giving them purpose and beauty. Just like John’s intricate work, it’s all about fit. Fuse33 is a really good fit for him.
Here at Fuse33, the creative and collaborative nature of the space allows for makers like John to experiment with their art and expand their outreach. Given John’s background as a woodworker and as a teacher Fuse33 provides him with opportunities to lead and spark community engagement through instructing an introduction to woodworking workshop where participants have a chance to make a wooden cutting board from start to finish.
Fuse33 encourages innovative approaches to fabrication across all mediums. John embodies that spirit with his dedication to upcycling wood scraps, such as skateboard offcuts, to create unique pieces. John enjoys the inspiration that comes from working out of a lively community oriented space, as opposed to the isolating atmosphere of his garage. At Fuse33 John is able to tap into a diverse network of craftspeople that can provide support to his creative endeavors:
“Often, while working on my projects, I am asked for woodworking advice and in turn, I receive support with things that I’m still learning more about.”
With the encouragement of other Fuse33 members, John embarked on a journey as a contestant on an online DIY competition in support of the American Lung Association, which had participants across North America. John maintained first place in his group for more than 3 weeks.
Inspired by the endless possibilities at Fuse33, John has crafted a one of a kind bed frame for his daughter and husband, exquisite end tables, scavenged and repurposed wood cutting board, and unique table for each of his children. John’s To-Do List is constantly expanding thanks to our encouraging community and resources.
