    Marc Adams

    Author Headshot

    Marc Adams opened his woodworking school 20 years ago in an Indiana cornfield, and has grown it into a multi-building facility (MarcAdams.com) that sees more students each year than any other woodworking school we know of. With so many skill levels passing through, Adams is serious about safety. But you can also trace his success to his appreciation for all things Disney, specifically the customer-centered philosophy of the theme parks. His latest project, five years in the making, is a replica of Belle’s bed from Beauty and the Beast, and is going to his daughter.
