From crafting model airplanes and skateboard ramps as a kid to creating stunning pieces of furniture, Scott Lanier has always found joy and fulfillment in woodworking. With a lifelong passion for building and fixing things, Scott has spent countless hours with tools in hand, balancing his day job as a car mechanic with woodworking projects in his spare time.

A significant turning point in Scott's woodworking journey came a year ago when he acquired a vintage General wood lathe, over 50 years old. This tool introduced him to the art of woodturning, a form unlike his previous work. Woodturning starts with a blank slate—a raw block of wood—and involves sculpting and carving until a new object emerges. This method challenged Scott to adopt a new mindset and explore a previously untapped artistic side.

Today, Scott is not only a skilled woodworker but also an enthusiastic sharer of his craft. He documents his projects and insights on his YouTube channel, inspiring others with his creative process and the transformative power of working with wood.

We at Eye Candy Pigment are thankful to be a very small part of his journey. Check out his YouTube channel to see why we celebrate his work and contributions to the community of makers. Scott is more than just a craftsman; he's a true artist, revealing the beauty hidden in simple pieces of wood and sharing his passion with the world.
