My first time in Cedar Key was with my wife to be in 2007. We stayed in a rental just 2 blocks west of his shop. At the time I was thinking about retirement plans from the post office as a rural letter carrier in Mims, just north of Titusville. On one of my strolls by his shop, I struck up a conversation with Mr Wells. Spent a long time in conversation with him…….to make a long story short, the man inspired me to take up woodworking. And that’s my retirement, woodworking shop in my backyard Thank you Mr. Wells for helping me find my passion.

In reply to Jason Byrd. What a treat to be able to hear those stories! Just the short amount of time we sat with him was filled with so many of those stories!
