FroggyBuilder is a small furniture design & building business.
I do all the work on every project myself. My shop is 650 square feet in the mountains of Jemez Springs, NM. Most of my customers are from the greater Albuquerque area. I recently retired with 37 years of service in the United States Air Force, and I dedicate myself fully to my woodworking projects.

FroggyBuilder is a small furniture design & building business
FroggyBuilder was established as an LLC in 2012 after years of building wood projects for family and friends.
I started working with wood at a very young age. I can’t even remember when I started going to work with my dad, he was a small town carpenter, but I remember loving it. I would get up early to go to work with him–to this day some of my best and most vivid memories of my dad are on the jobsite.
Furniture
I design and build wood furniture. I have worked in many different styles and have used most domestic hardwoods and some exotics. I'm most comfortable with the Craftsman style using white oak which is easily adapted to a Southwestern style, but I am interested in hearing your ideas for any wood project in any style.
CAD Drawings
I use Sketch-Up, computer-aided design software, to create three-dimensional drawings. It provides a model of the project; from there we can discuss edits to further customize your piece. The tool also provides me with plans for providing estimates and making lumber purchases. There is no cost for the initial CAD drawing.
Free Estimates
I provide an accurate estimate for any project at no cost to you. It's based on the market cost of lumber at the time of the request, the cost of lumber does vary slightly depending on supply and demand for that species of wood. I include all hardware and labor costs so you can make an informed decision.
Tips & Techniques
Follow my blog! I occasionally add a new post providing details on my current projects, instructions on building jigs, tips to make most tasks easier and repeatable, and, probably most useful of all, I'll include mistakes or lessons I've learned--sometimes the hard way.
