Hello! Thank you for visiting the website. I hope your stay here is great! My name is Jeff Schiewe and I am writing to you from the Oly Builds workshop in Olympia, Washington. I own the shop, but there are many projects being created by several people that frequent the space. We like to have fun and learn skills from each other as we experience each new build. Projects include workshop jigs and fixtures, interior furniture, exterior furniture, kitchen and bath cabinets, remodeling projects, built-ins, sheds, patios, cabins, and garden structures. We love new experiences, and meeting new friends!
