tools but with some measurements he made a set of tools customized for my hands i have small hands the more we chatted about my needs the more i learned about the man and the creative process and so i am here to share him with you dennis dugan was born in a small farm community a boomer like most of us finished high school and did his tours in vietnam as an army helicopter pilot after the army he worked for shell oil and retired in 1993 dennis father was a machinist for the atomic energy commission i learned to machine metals through osmosis practically acquiring and excelling at those skills led me to woodworking i like working with my hands i went to a dollhouse club meeting where i was living in illinois they were making some little chairs that night and that piqued my curiosity i thought it was neat and thought i could make a better chair he bought in a new chair next time they met and showed it to them where d you get that they asked there was a look of surprise on their faces as he explained that he made it there is where his story of miniatures began after making the chairs for the club dollhouse shows and events where he continued to sell but he says he was not a huge success this was during the burgeoning period of miniatures with nutshell news and other magazines making their debut dennis wanted to make a living with his miniatures and continued to bring his talents to bear by joining his skills to create his work and works of art later dennis registered for a doll sculpting class with jack johnston he thought the class fascinating and shared his work with mr johnston dennis brought a one fourth life size secretary made of black walnut and beveled glass to show jack and the students fell in love with it later i was commissioned to make a roll top desk and a bankers chair for a mark twain doll now in the collection of the sudbury museum in baton rouge la dennis continued to make things for his own amusement mr johnston called again to
