About
I coach first-time and returning woodworkers through bench choices that keep projects moving. My focus is safe, repeatable setups, tidy workflows, and accessories that earn their footprint.
Background
On my first solo build, I wasted hours chasing clamps and tools buried under lumber. A mentor walked me through a reset: clear zones, fixed clamping points, a home for everything. That single afternoon made the project fun again. Ever since, I start with workflow before buying anything.
Perspective
I prefer simple, repeatable setups using standard footprints and common accessories.
