An Artisan Woodworks and Maker Shop in Townsend Tennessee
Nestled in the foothills, on the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains, there’s a little green barn on a small family farm. In it, beautiful things are being made – sustainably, with human hands and often from local wood.

Small checkers play a big role across many of the games we make, with our 4-in-a-row sets requiring a total of 42 checkers. Sanding them all would be extremely tedious without this process.

Tiny home curious? Then check out @builds_by_carly. She released a behind-the-scenes video about building their Treehouse foundation on a very steep mountainside here in east Tennessee. She builds tiny homes that are solid, REAL homes.
We’re looking forward to some upcoming woodworking collaborations but for this, I put on a new hat to activate the other maker in me, as a videographer and editor to collaborate on this video. I learned a lot about what it takes to get a tiny mountain home started. Video link below or in our profile:

Knife Block Production - Part 1, Bandsaw Set Up
Production for our spalted maple & walnut magnetic knife blocks goes to the bandsaw to slice off 1/4” from each maple block. These will be glued back into place once we install the embedded magnets. To make sure the cut is smooth and even, we have to switch the bandsaw to our trusty @lagunatools “Resaw King” blade, which lives up to its name BTW.

Rod Molina, Founder of Mountain Makers
TN | USA
Greetings!
I’m a first-generation Filipino-American who spent my formative years in South Florida. I did some cubicle time at a well known tech company and later co-founded a successful digital media agency. Now, I find myself nestled in the serenity of the Smoky Mountains in Townsend, Tennessee.
Here, life is a continual exploration—a journey of woodcraft, creativity, and discovery. My wife, Dawn, and I make things in our little green barn, originally raised for our small herd of goats. But over time, it has transformed into a well-equipped maker lab and workshop—what I like to call our “makery.” Together, we craft things, usually from wood, or whatever we can get our hands on. We enjoy personal projects and collaborative opportunities where we design & create unique pieces for appreciative partners.
As a creative thinker, I’m perpetually tinkering—a DIY nerd with an insatiable curiosity. I’m a self-proclaimed techsplorer. My background as a software engineer and technology director fuels my passion for blending time-honored techniques with the latest innovations, to discover new methods to make things that are beautiful, functional and enduring.
