Built Around a Love of Music

How Sidetracked Workshop Started

I’m Peter, the owner and one of the craftspeople behind Sidetracked Workshop.

I’ve long been drawn to furniture design and building, but I’ve developed a particular love for record consoles and storage. Music collections are deeply personal. They reflect taste, identity, and history. A vinyl collection, especially, carries its own character, and there’s a ritual to selecting and playing a record that deserves to be honored.

My own record cabinet sits proudly as a centerpiece in my home, and that same sense of presence is what I aim to create for others. Designing and building high-quality, stylish, and enduring storage pieces that highlight your collection is what drives my work.

When I’m not in the workshop, you’ll find me gardening, snowboarding, spending time with my dog, and of course, listening to good music.

Happy listening,
Peter Huizenga
Owner, Sidetracked Workshop
