Nine years ago, I put this lifelong fascination into action and became a traditional woodworker. In our apartment, I applied what I had studied in the past, practicing the old methods, without big machines and, of course, without the noise and dust. With a couple saws, a few handplanes, and some chisels, I found I was able to make nearly anything—small furniture, boxes, home accessories, wooden jewelry, and even our dining room suite—simply and beautifully. Now, I'd like to help new people get started in the craft and provide opportunities for woodworkers at all skill levels to expand their skills and deepen their experience.
