My name is Rachel Blanding and I am located in Charlotte, NC USA. I do woodworking and welding as a hobby and mainly on the weekends.
I started woodworking at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic out of personal interest.
In the workforce, I work full-time in the computer science field and am a part-time piano teacher.
What do I do?
I create furniture and art out of wood and metal. Since woodworking is a hobby, I create things for myself, family, and friends.
I also enjoy refurbishing furniture and creating things out of other materials like epoxy and concrete.

My projects
My very first project was a drawer organizer, and like most first projects, I could have used a lot of work. My second project was a small book case that could go under my work desk.
As I progressed, I created more bookcases, shelves, wall art, and other pieces of furniture.
