Six years with an angle grinder. A lifetime of taking things apart.

My grandfather built things on the side of being a teacher — hand tools, patience, figuring it out. My dad’s an electronics engineer, so multimeters and soldering irons were just lying around the house growing up. Add a physics background and a diploma in computer hardware, and you get someone who can’t leave a tool alone until he understands it.

That’s what NootanCrafts really is — wood, metal, marble, electronics, whatever’s in front of me. Same instinct, different material.
