A former senior editor for DoItYourself.com, Justin spent years both as a writer/editor and working in the trades as a handyman, framer and installer of skylights. He's still active in his workshop, making things out of other things, like glowing whiskey bars, reclaimed redwood tables, knives out of horseshoes, lamps out of plumbing parts and a butler robot (WIP).
