Jimmy Buffet and His New American Workbench

To Our Clients ~

When I started this company going on Six years ago, it was out of
frustration and determination.

The frustration was from my wife Emily trying to find an American
made wooden workbench as a gift for me in our new home.

At that time it finally hit me, most everything you could purchase was
Outsourced for cheap labor and materials to Third World Countries.

The determination began after I built my own bench and wood burned
"American Workbench" on it.

At 53, in the Hotel Business for 28 years, my hotel was being sold and
the thought of moving to another city for a high paying job, became out
of the question since we love Charleston so much.

I started in my garage with 3 pieces of equipment, two workbench
products, a small website and an Ebay account.

Today, we have a 6,000 SQ Ft facility on James Island, 5 American
Employees and 9 Bench Products.

Although I truly believe that no one client is any better than the next,
no matter whether they buy one bench or five, whether they are a
celebrity or not, I can say its very inspiring when someone that you
have admired, buys something that you hand make and that your
product was chosen based on its own merit.

(Please note: This bench was a purchase and not a donation for
endorsement.)

In almost every case, our designs have been inspired by our client's
ideas and requests.

Thank you to all 3,168 of my Clients I remember each of you daily as I
build new benches!

My Best,

John
