Welcome to the Workshop Journal

Thanks for stopping by. If you're reading this, you've found the corner of our site where we slow down and talk about the work — the projects we're proud of, what we're learning, and what it looks like to build things right here in Central Texas.

Willis & Jones is a small operation by design. For more than twenty years, the work has come mostly by word of mouth — one honest job leading to the next. That's still how we like it. When you hire us, you're getting the person who actually does the work, not a name on a truck.

We take on remodeling and finish carpentry across the Austin area, and we build custom electric guitars by hand for folks who want something one of a kind. Different crafts, same standard: measure twice, cut once, and stand behind every piece that leaves the shop.

What you'll find here

We'll use this space to share recent projects, the occasional look behind the scenes, and updates on what we're booking. Nothing fancy — just real work, honestly told. If something here sparks an idea for your own home or project, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for following along.
