Here's My Shop!
by Michael Youngblood
Gordonsville, VA
I have been making things all my life. In fact, I have a small wooden dog I carved when I was ten
years old, and two bears I carved when I was sixteen. Professionally, I was an art teacher. I have
always had some sort of modest workshop (usually half of a garage). I used to think of myself as an
artist...three dimensional art was my forte', wood sculpture mostly.
When I retired, I built my current work shop where I make furniture, restore antique furniture,
repair stringed musical instruments, etc. I also have a mini lathe and milling machine and am
scratch building a 1:8 scale 1932 Ford. Currently, I have the frame finished, the engine block
roughed out and am working on the wire wheels. So, in the end, I no longer think of myself as an
"artist", but rather as someone who likes to make things and, if I like it, I may make several.
