He can't get enough space

Tom Clark's Florida workshop

It was a passion for space that got Tom Clark hooked on woodworking. Gazing through a telescope soon became a passion for finding enough space to make his own. Because telescopes, as Tom says, "are basically plywood boxes with some aluminum parts to hold the parts together and keep the assembly light," the transition to making cabinets was a natural one. And at the time, as a contract machinist, Tom needed cabinets to store extra parts generated by his business.
