Dirty Leg Craftsman is a hand-tool and preindustrial style woodworker, furniture designer, and US Army Veteran

Since being medically retired from the Army in 2015, Iaian Thompson has dedicated his life to the pursuit and study of woodworking, with both power tools and hand tools. After a few years as a finish carpenter’s apprentice, he decided to strike out on his own, design building custom spaces for customers, such as man caves, dry and wet bars, plus built-in furniture.

Since then, he has started specializing in design built furniture for high-end spaces, using mostly hand tools and helping veterans recover from PTSD through the work of their hands and by crafting their own lives through the work of craftsmanship.

Take a look at the small shop on this site for one-off furniture designs, hand-made tools, and/or contact Iaian to commission the next piece of furniture for your home or office.
