Welcome to Out of My Shop

Where hands-on craftsmanship meets creativity in 3D printing, woodworking, and laser engraving.


I’m Jay (though most of my favorite people call me Grandpa). What started as a way to meet a few family needs has grown into something I truly enjoy — turning ideas into real, usable, one-of-a-kind pieces. Whether it’s home décor, kitchenware, toys, or tabletop gaming accessories, everything here comes straight out of my workshop.

I build what I love — but I also love a good challenge. If you’ve got an idea, style, or custom request in mind, I’d be happy to see what we can create together. Every item I make is crafted with care, using a mix of traditional techniques and modern tools, and while I don’t promise perfection, I do promise attention to detail and a personal touch.

You’ll find shippable products in the online store, larger pieces available for local pickup, and upcoming events listed if you want to catch me in person. I also share updates and behind-the-scenes looks on Facebook, so feel free to follow along.

This site (and the shop) is always a work in progress – much like any good project. So thanks for stopping by, and don’t mind the sawdust (or man glitter, as I call it).

Welcome to Out of My Shop, where craftsmanship meets passion across the realms of 3D printing, woodworking, and laser engraving. They call me Grandpa, and I’m the creator behind these crafted marvels that spring to life from my workshop—an extension of my diverse array of hobbies.

My journey started with meeting the practical needs of my
family, evolving into a deeply fulfilling craft. From the intricate world of 3D printing to the artistry of woodworking and precision of laser engraving, I fashion pieces I love, reflecting my styles and interests. However, it’s not just about what I enjoy; it’s about crafting items that resonate with my children and grandchildren, fulfilling their desires and needs.

Every creation that leaves my workshop isn’t just a product;
it’s a piece born from my imagination, heart, and hands. While I may not claim perfection, each item is infused with meticulous care and expertise in 3D printing, woodworking, or laser engraving. If you choose to take home a piece from my collection, I hope it brings you as much joy as I’ve found in crafting it.

Stay tuned as new pieces grace this space regularly. This
website and our Facebook page are continuous works in progress, so feel free to explore and pardon the ‘man glitter’ (sawdust) that might accompany the journey.
