Our Roots

In 2016, we dropped out of college and emptied our bank account to put a deposit down on this workshop. This was the beginning of our custom furniture business. Over the years, we honed our craft, learned the value of hard work, and developed a deep appreciation for the trades. Those lessons became the foundation of Proven Hands™.

Our Origin Story

Our Mission

At Proven Hands™, we’re here to create products that stand the test of time. No gimmicks. No cheap shortcuts. Just solid, quality goods you’ll feel good about using for the long haul.

We’re not focused on squeezing margins. We’re dedicated to making products we’re proud to use. Every piece is crafted with care, built to last, and designed to be repaired or used proudly as it ages.

We believe in preserving skilled trades and rejecting the throwaway culture. “Slowly Made in the USA” is our commitment to durability and quality.

When you choose Proven Hands, you’re supporting a family business that values purpose over profit.

Howdy

Hi, I’m Dylan, the founder of Proven Hands. Making things has always been my passion, and in 2016, my now-wife Molly and I turned that passion into Woodbrew, a custom furniture business in Fairhope, AL. We started sharing our projects on YouTube, and it quickly grew into a full-time adventure.

Proven Hands is my next step—a way to keep creating, support my growing family, and give back to the trades I care so much about. It’s all about preserving craftsmanship and honoring the hardworking people who make it happen.

Where It Began

My passion for making began at a very early age when I would help my dad work on projects around the house.

My First Workbench

I started posting my creations on YouTube in 2011 at age 14. This video shows a heartwarming look at my first business and workbench setup.

Family Operated

We’re more than a family business—it’s our way of life. Every order we fulfill is a reflection of the teamwork, love, and dedication that goes into everything we do. Our workshop is where we share laughs, teach our kid the value of hard work, and build a future together. For us, Proven Hands isn’t just about making quality goods—it’s about creating something meaningful for our family and yours.
