Will Wagler custom designed and fabricated a beautiful cherry coffee table for us. He worked interactively with us over several days to develop a design that we loved and to get the right color and finish for our needs. Using a solid cherry block that we provided (one that had sentimental attachments for us as well) the table required additional wood for the legs and framing which Will found and matched to the top. The result is gorgeous and the centerpiece for the room.The price was very reasonable and the table was finished and delivered in good time. Couldnt be happier with the sensitivity and craftsmanship Will brought to the project!

I highly recommend Will for all of your cabinet/furniture making. I am over the moon with my stunningly gorgeous vanity he custom made for us. He is an artist! The design is practical yet beautiful and his recommendations of the wood and handles were perfect. Will was thoughtful, respectful and super friendly. Based on his work, his demeanor and his work ethic we are looking for other projects for him. If you need high quality work at a reasonable price, Will is your man!

Will’s skills and talents are as top-notch professional as he is a delight to have working in one’s space.I sky highly recommend him for any home needs which involve sound skills and creativity by a talented, genuinely kind-mannered craftsperson.The jobs he did for me:He installed a heavy industrial iron rod across a door frame that previously had held a set of French doors, and was currently a wide open entry to my office space. My goal was to hang insulated curtains to keep heat in during the winter. He thoughtfully helped me consider options for how to mount the rod to allow for ease of installing the curtains. And then he went to it, being super careful to not harm the existing wood frame. He did a great job!Then I needed a handmade L--shaped desk reconfigured for a much smaller space. He knew just how to accomplish what was needed - by removing the perpendicular extension and then resolving a remaining gap in the front edge with new wood. He took care to make sure the filler wood strip was structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing.Thank you, Will!!

I totally recommend Will - he is reasonably priced, meticulous, punctual, skilled. I needed some things done around the house which Will did a great job with but I really needed help putting up a collage of pictures and I didn’t know how to go about doing it. He was so professional, detail oriented, creative and was open to collaboration. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was working with Will. I am so thrilled with the collage of photos and it brings me so much joy every day.

The owner of Creative Guybrarian, Will Wagler, is a true craftsman. He refinished a large oak dining room table for us and his work was superb. He involved us in every phase of the project, and experimented with multiple stains and finishes, creating samples on the oak surface for us to review and choose from. The final product far exceeded what we thought was possible. We couldnt be happier!

Will was incredibly professional and helpful and attentive to all of our questions and needs. He did several projects for us, and he approached each one with care and curiosity. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for woodworking or special project support. You will not find a better creative service, professional than Will!

I asked Will to put up some bookshelves on a wall of my office, and what he did far exceeded my expectations. He designed, built, and installed an entire wall of built-in bookcases, including framing the window on all sides with shelves. All the shelf ends and vertical dividers are beautifully end-capped, and behind the shelves is handsome wood paneling. He also managed to do the work in a very cramped space while maintaining his good humor.

Will Wagler did a couple of small projects for me: two door fixes, both requiring different solutions and a shower/tub grab bar. Very professional - immediate response, estimate, punctual arrival, friendly, quiet, respectful, and left no mess. He even adjusted the estimate - not at my request - upon completing the projects. Will also builds furniture and bookcases. Id hire him again in a heartbeat. This is his website.
