Hi!  I am David Micek and I have been building and creating things since before I can remember.  My mom tells the story of me getting a set of 'toy' tools for Christmas when I was five.  I would tote them to the country looking for fallen trees and cut off all of the limbs,  nailing them back where I felt they belonged.   This led to forts, tree houses and go carts among other creations as a child.  In my teens I decided to build a cheval mirror for my sister.  It seemed only natural that my first furniture project be bigger than me and not consist of a single straight edge or right angle. 

I am completely self taught and have been lucky to have had more successes than failures.  The closest thing to a class or formal education was watching Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop on PBS.  This, along with my curiosity and the desire to disassemble anything I could find and then put it back together, have assisted in my understanding the mechanics of how things work.

Thanks for the opportunity to create for you.
