Retired Army Officer Finds a Home at FUSE
Tom Kight is a retired army officer and a FUSE member with a passion for woodworking. He nurtured his passion by taking classes at Santa Fe Community College after leaving his job at Intel in 2008. Santa Fe Community College provided Tom with exposure to outstanding mentors. In addition to making fine furniture, he works with his son Bill who runs a blacksmith shop, Kight Designs.
Tom is at FUSE often, working in both the wood and metal sides of the house. He’s made a Spanish bench, reception stands for Copper Lounge, and eye-catching tables, such as the one pictured above. He plans to eventually expand his own shop to include all the equipment he needs for his wide-ranging creations, but until then you’ll likely find him perched in front of the plasma table, hunched over a computer in the design lab, or caked with sawdust in the woodshop.
