Mission
I believe making things by hand—like music or art—connects the mind and body, encourages curiosity, builds autonomy, and fosters emotional, intellectual, and social growth. It allows us to give back and contribute. To make that special person or ourselves something with our own two hands.

Fine woodworking can be very accessible, it could be a workbench at the end of your bed in your studio apartment or a massive shop full of the latest and greatest tooling. There is no right or wrong approach, and if I can be a catalyst for you to start making I would love to help.

I am calling this mission to teach and bring craft to others The Handwork Initiative

Fall 2026 Class schedule is up. Please note that spots are limited.

Students, ages 6-12, will work through a hand tool only curriculum, that I have developed, that starts with simple projects and grows in complexity.

For example, the very first project is a simple garden plant label. In that session, students learn the names and basic use of several tools, including a Japanese pull saw, block plane, and different marking and measuring tools. Along the way, we start building an understanding of wood itself—things like grain direction and how wood behaves.
