For me woodworking began as a hobby. I began to purchase tools piecemeal and began doing small projects around the house. That is how I began developing my skills. Using store bought and reclaimed materials I continued making larger and larger projects leading to my first coffee table and dining table. But when I finished those I realized I needed somewhere where I could continue developing my skills and knowledge. That is how I came across the Chippendale School of Furniture in Scotland. I went for a year and learned many things about woodworking and design that I otherwise may never have learned, especially working with veneer. After a year of study and projects I am here to continue on my own.
