I started building bits and spurs about 8 or so years ago. At the time I was just building for friends and family during my spare time. I went and spend some time with Gordy Alderson back in 2008. What a great mentor and one heck of a craftsman. The winter of 2013 is when I decided to go full time with my bits and spurs and I quit my day job. I'm grateful to be able to do this for a living and have all my customers to thank for that.
