My name is Tom Preiss and I am a self-taught Warren County, NJ woodworker. I have always enjoyed working with my hands to create functional, decorative and unique items. In 2006, I came across a website called the Wood Whisperer. As this master woodworker crafted wood items, he demonstrated his step-by-step process. This sparked my interest in woodworking. I began by crafting simple items for family and friends. I learned as I went along, progressing to the more complex processes - such as lathe turning - to expand my woodworking skills. I am always creating new items for my clients. With the help of my family three years ago, I started my part-time, local New Jersey woodworking business and Coast 2 Coast Woodwork began.

All my woodworking items are handmade and hand-turned. I make everything from lathe-turned wood pens, crochet hooks, seam rippers, measuring spoons, wooden or acrylic coffee scoops to larger items like bowls, salt and pepper grinders, cutting boards, pet accessory displays, decorative candle holders, tables and more. I happily accept special request orders. Some of my top sellers are lathe- turned wood military pens, crochet hook sets, seam rippers and cutting boards.

As a craftsman and Warren County small business owner, partnering with Marketspace Vendor Events provides a forum to showcase my woodworking creations in a variety of locations alongside other talented artisans. Working with Marketspace Vendor Events’ owners, Kim and Kevin, is seamless from the initial registration to the conclusion of an event. They choose unique craft market venues in New Jersey such as local breweries and art museums, provide ongoing communication, and advertise their events to draw customers from a wide area. During the event, Kim and Kevin are organized and attentive to all the vendors’ questions and needs. Marketspace is helping me to grow my Coast 2 Coast Woodworking business!
