Teaching a seminar at The Woodworking Show in Portland, OR
I know I am somewhat new to Lumberjocks, but I can already see that this forum is a gold mine of support, inspiration and community—my kind of people! It is therefore, my desire to do my part in this group of like-minded friends, by starting off an extensive educational series I’ve recently prepared entitled: “BEYOND THE BASICS—Taking your woodworking to the next level” The series will include many ad...

I am considering offering a new special for those who would like to take my Maloof-style rocking chair class.
After talking to a number of woodworkers, I have come up with a “class bundle” offer for a week of instruction on rocking chair science.
If at least six (6) woodworkers sign up for any week-long (5 days) “class bundle,” then, by a drawing, one of those woodworkers will receive that “class bundle” for FREE.
Included in the five-day (Monday t...

I had the privilege of attending the Furniture Making course at Salt Lake Community College for two days right before I dropped out for a few years. The course ju...

There were in excess of 200 projects entered. All had to compete at a district level and receive a blue ribbon at that level to advance to state. While looking at the primary project in the photo, you can see some of the many other projects that were entered.

What’s happing in the shop for December 14, 2009. First thing this morning I’ll be building a box to hold some maps for the Montessori school. This is the school that I just built 41 bookcases for. This was a last minute add-on. I will then go on location to add some shelf stiffeners to the older bookcases and move them to a new location.
Later in the day I’ll continue to work on a loft baseball bed with a Locker murphy bed on the bottom.
For missed video and bui...

What we are doing in the shop for December 09, 2009. The 41 school bookcases are being delivered this morning by Paul and Donald. When they get back they’ll work on some drawers for three different bed pedestals. I’ll be working most of the day on a loft bed.
