Magician loses job, then reaches new heights building treehouses during pandemic
Eric Buss was able to find purpose building a fun-filled palace of sorts on a tree.
One of the most beautiful parts of childhood is being free to dream. And what better place to do it, than a castle in the sky? That’s where Buss comes in.
Using his woodworking skills, he builds treehouses. He’s a master at work – studying the tree, contemplating his approach, and then sculpting it.
This artistry all started with the pandemic. When he lost his job, Buss tried to stay busy.
“I built my son a treehouse for his eighth birthday. I took pictures, put them on Facebook, and then word caught on. Everyone started wanting tree houses,” he said.
