Ivan Asbury’s earliest memories were of sawing and hammering, so naturally after pursuing a ministry degree over forty years ago he became a pastor and furniture maker. He would also become a Master at Sheetmetal after serving a four year apprenticeship with the United States Department of Labor.
Fundamental to Ivan’s work are hand tools, for the polish of surfaces they cut and the subtle variations possible working by hand and eye rather than just machine. He also teaches classes.
Ivan offers private instruction in his shop, for a few hours or for a project over several days.
