I am a spare-time woodworker with an interest in making American Arts & Crafts style furniture. Located outside Buffalo, New York, I have a basement woodshop that is approximately 440 sq feet; of which I use every inch. Having a small shop forces me to be better organized and to find creative ways of using my space!

I am heavily influenced by the Roycroft style as well as the work of Gustav Stickley (especially the furniture designed by Harvey Ellis). Ive been doing fine woodworking for about Seven years now. Before that, I did carpentry and home remodeling for 10-12 years.

The heart of my efforts are the many instructional videos Ive made. I made my first video for the Internet a few years ago when I wanted to show off the Motorized Router Lift. I quickly found that it was a great way to reach a lot of people in a desired format. With the encouragement and support from viewers around the world, I starting making more videos. My approach to woodworking videos is simple - I want to show you how I do things in my shop with as much close-up woodworking action as possible. I like to share my techniques and travels in woodworking with the world. My intent is to continue making project-based woodworking videos for all to enjoy

The Super Sled - Tablesaw Mitering and Crosscut Sled

While contemplating ways to improve on the design of my existing crosscut sled, I started to focus on the concept of combining two of my tablesaw jigs - my crosscut sled and my mitering jig.

Arts and Crafts style Round Table - Stickley #603

The video series shows the build of two tables in parallel to illustrate the differences in materials and construction. The outcome of both tables is meant to be nearly identical, but in the process of creating the imposter, I show some nice ways to get the authentic look using different techniques and materials.
