About Scott Bailey
My
Story
As far back as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands. I remember being in awe of my father as he would sling grease and scatter wood dust all over our garage floor.
I was inspired by my fathers skill and it didn't take long until I followed in his footsteps. I was hooked, I began exploring my newly developed skill of turning wrenches on mini bikes and three wheelers. I quickly transitioned to cars and was just 16 when I undertook my first automotive build. She was a gorgeous 1971 gray nova and boy was she was fast!
After graduating high school, I attended college and graduated from Southeast community college Milford with a degree as an automotive technology. I have worked in the automotive repair field for over 30 years, now owning my own repair shop Custom Engineering Company in Omaha Nebraska.
​
Being skilled in automotive repair and using my hands as tools made the art of woodcraft a natural transition for me. I’ve always been a quick study and learn a great deal from just watching other people as they demonstrate their talents. In short, YouTube changed my life. I really enjoy the art of artesian woodcraft and I take great pride in creating beautiful items for our clients homes.
