Avoiding real work at all costs.
See My WorkMidday Builder is a one-man furniture shop based in Wisconsin.
I handcraft modern furniture with clean lines and minimalist details. Everything's built in my shop from start to finish—no shortcuts, no mass production.
I'm still learning and growing as a maker, documenting the journey as I go. You'll see the real process: the wins, the fails, and everything in between. Building furniture is problem-solving, and I think there's value in showing the process.
My goal is simple: create furniture that's beautiful with intention.
Combination of solid cherry hardwood and cherry veneered plywood. Custom-built storage that's both functional and heirloom quality—designed to last through childhood and beyond.
Weather-resistant outdoor seating with clean lines and comfortable proportions. Built to withstand the elements while maintaining modern aesthetics.
Inspired by an archway I saw while traveling. This table has modern lines and waterfall edges highlighting the grain pattern.

Whether you have detailed plans or just an idea, I'd love to hear about what you're thinking. Most projects start with a conversation about what you need and what's possible.
I typically book projects 6-8 weeks out, but I'm happy to discuss timeline and answer any questions you have about the process.
