Design and Build

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Huy Huynh and I live in Huntsville, Alabama working as a full-time aerospace engineer and part-time furniture and cabinet maker.

My journey into woodworking started back in 2001. During high school and college I worked for Old Towne Construction (Poughkeepsie, NY) which specialized in roofing and framing. In 2011 shortly after graduating from college, I bought a foreclosed "fixer-upper" and like many woodworkers, my interests were sparked by learning more complex DIY skills (carpentry, electrical, and plumbing). Throughout the years, I’ve used my home as an experimental canvas for most of my learning. In 2013, I became obsessed with building cabinets for my home and workshop. That quickly evolved into building more complex furniture pieces. As an aerospace engineer, I gravitated to the more technical side of furniture and cabinet making. However, I’ve become proficient in furniture design by incorporating modern techniques, software, and human dimensioning.

In 2020, after 5-years of learning traditional woodworking skills, I started exploring digital woodworking and automation through the use of a 4’x4’ CNC spindle machine. This greatly increased my precision and production capabilities, as well as broadening the types of projects I’m able tackle, such as signage, precision furniture parts, flattening, and 3D carving.

I’d love to work with you on designing and building your next custom furniture piece, signage, or wood product. Please head over to my contact page with your requests.

Document and Educate

This website and blog, along with my YouTube channel and Instagram feed, serve as ways to document my growth as a furniture and cabinet maker. They also serve as resources for you! I learn the most by "doing" and by teaching others. I try to learn something new in every project I tackle and then share what I've learned with the online woodworking community through blog posts, videos, and images.

I’m also sponsored by companies such as The Home Depot and Pony Jorgensen. I’m often sent tools by manufacturers to test within my working capacity. I write about my experiences and opinions through my applications as a furniture and cabinet maker, but I also include tools commonly used in carpentry, home renovation, and DIY projects. If your company is interested in the content that I produce, I’d love to hear from you through my contact page.
