HELLO, I’M MICHAEL.
One workshop.
Plenty of directions.
I make things that are useful, interesting, or just too tempting not to try.
Woodworking, custom objects, CAD, printing, electronics, and code have all found their way into the collection. Some projects begin with a customer’s idea. Others begin with a small annoyance, a piece of wood, or a new method I want to learn.
This is a place for the finished objects, the experiments, and the tools that made the next project possible. The small stuff belongs here just as much as the big builds.
A HANDS-ON BACKGROUND
The work before the collection.
My LinkedIn history includes concrete resurfacing and carpentry roles from 2005 to 2016, from laborer to project supervisor. Later came Mike's Functional Artistry, a manufacturing apprenticeship, CNC operation, fabrication engineering, and engineering management.
My 2022 software training overlapped with the making and manufacturing work. The full career view keeps those overlaps visible, alongside the projects themselves.

The project collection is for browsing the whole range. The Professional view is a shorter route through selected contributions and work-relevant examples. It is the same work, with a different emphasis.
Elsewhere on the internet.
The earlier woodworking work lives under Mike’s Functional Artistry. Printer, FPV, and other builds also appear under Jerky_FPV.
