About Grampa’s Woodshop

Maker of Custom Indoor and Outdoor Furniture in Central Ontario

After working in the corporate jungle for the better part of my working life, I have decided to spend my retirement years doing what I have been doing as a hobby all those years: building and renovating homes and handcrafting wood furniture.  It gave me great relief from the stress-filled corporate environment to be able to work with my hands as a craftsperson, and I took great pride in the results that I was able to produce. 

 I do not profess to be an artist of any kind–as those gifted people are few and far between–but rather a craftsperson.  I believe we have all been blessed with talents, and I have been blessed with a modest skill set to produce wood furniture which dovetails nicely with what I love doing; working with wood. 

Grampa’s Woodshop: Since 2017

In 2017, I took the step to start building plans for projects that I found interesting and challenging.  It took the better part of a year to prepare the initial Grampa’s Woodshop projects I thought were viable, and to ready the woods needed to produce the items. The products we’re making are based on prototypes I have built thus far, and although I wish I could say most of what is produced stands the test of time, the fact is I can’t say that.  It is only through experience, research, collaboration,  and common sense that I could design/build these products and hope they last–both materially and from quality of workmanship.

 As a one-man operation, I normally will not build products on speculation, but accept only custom orders. Each project requires a significant amount of time as I have to manage all aspects of the business and aspects of production, therefore delivery dates will have to be estimated. This is an old school business model in the context of today’s busy world, but it is a business model that works for me. Know that the quality and uniqueness of the products will benefit you greatly as well. Contact us for a custom quote, or browse our products.
