Home Building & Construction
New construction and framing, done from the ground up. Solid bones, square corners, and work that holds up long after the crew leaves.

I build houses, turn wood, and fix what's broken around Lincoln County. I wrote a book about a family holding it together when the lights go out, and I put the work on camera over at Crafted by Chad. This is all of it, in one place.

About
Straight work, no shortcuts
I'm a carpenter from Troy, Missouri. I build houses for a living, run Thornburgh Construction, and keep properties around Lincoln County in shape. If it involves lumber, tools, and getting it done right, that's my work.
I'm a proud dad to my two boys — Tanner and Jacob. Family isn't a side note in my life; it's the reason for most of it. It's also where my book comes from: a story about a family that has to take care of its own when the world outside stops working.
When I'm not on a job site, I'm in the shop turning wood or in front of a camera showing how the work actually gets done — the good cuts and the mistakes alike. What you see is what you get.

Thornburgh Construction
The work
Houses built, rooms fixed, wood turned, properties looked after. One crew, one name on the job — mine.
Custom Carpentry & Woodturning
Custom pieces and turned work out of the shop — the same craft you'll see on the Crafted by Chad channel, made to order and made to last.
Remodeling & Repair
Kitchens, rooms, and the long list of things that break in a house. Honest assessment, honest price, and the repair done right the first time.
Property Maintenance
Ongoing upkeep for rental and family properties — the regular work that keeps a place standing, rented, and out of trouble.

The Book
Thornburgh Family Survival
The Day the Lights Went Out
A survival story about the people you'd do anything to protect.
When the power goes out and doesn't come back, a family has to figure out — fast — how to feed itself, protect itself, and stay together. That's the story I wrote, and I wrote it as a dad who knows what it takes to hold a household together.
The family in it is built on the real thing: you take care of your own, and you don't quit. Book Two is in the works now.

Crafted by Chad
The shop and the job site, on camera. On Crafted by Chad I post woodturning, carpentry projects, and straight contractor advice — the kind of stuff I wish somebody had shown me when I was starting out.
No script, no pretending. A project goes right, you see why. It goes sideways, you see that too.
