Rob Wotzak

A full-size dust-collection system would be a tight fit in Rob Wotzak’s home workshop. That’s why he was eager to review tool-triggered shop vacs for Fine Homebuilding. Splitting his time among finish carpentry, blacksmithing, and building custom bicycles, Rob also is renovating the 136-year-old home in New Milford, Conn., that he shares with his wife, Michelle, and daughter, Kaia.
