One curriculum, taught from A to Z: a full path in fine cabinetmaking, from the foundations up to complex builds.
The courses open one at a time, starting with The Cabinet.

One of the first and most important stations of every project: the first reference. One flat face, and a second, flat and square to it.

After the jointer, and only after. Quickly and easily, it gives faces that are flat and parallel to the references made on the jointer.

The dangerous friend.

If I had to keep only one machine, it would be this saw. Very versatile, and it does all the resawing efficiently, safely and precisely.

Thirty minutes on a video call, one to one: a piece you're stuck on, your workshop, whatever you need help with.
Choose a time and pay right here. Before the call I'll ask you a few short questions. They're there so I can prepare, and so we can spend the whole half hour on your work.
