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. I threw together some folding tables and started modifying gaming consoles for fun and even as a small business.
Family Operated
We’re more than a family business—it’s our way of life. 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.
