OUR WORKSHOP
Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we built our 1,200-square-foot workshop from the ground up. Surrounded by mountains and the beauty of nature, it’s more than just a workspace—it’s a place where creativity, imagination, and craftsmanship come together to bring each of our handcrafted creations to life. With over ten years of woodworking experience, we are passionate about our craft and take pride in creating pieces that bring joy to others.

Carlos Imery
Drifter Woodworks started simply—just a love for building things the right way.
Carlos Imery, originally from Venezuela, has spent over a decade working with wood, learning through experience and steadily refining his craft. A true DIY enthusiast, he approaches every project with curiosity and precision—always asking how things work and how they can be built better. His interests go beyond woodworking into technology, engineering, and sound, all of which shape the way he thinks and builds.

Together, it’s a small operation built on honest work, patience, and a respect for the craft. Nothing rushed, nothing overcomplicated—just good work made to be used and appreciated.

It’s about fixing something that feels unfinished. Sometimes the
