A day in the shop learning to cut dovetails by hand. We'll start at the bench around 10 with sharp chisels and the wood already milled. By the end of the day you'll have a small box you cut yourself, plus the skills to keep doing it at home.
No experience needed. If you've never held a chisel, that's fine. If you've cut dovetails before and want to tighten up your technique, that works too.
Lunch is included. Bring an apron if you have one. Parking is easy.
October 11–13, 2026 · Stowe Mountain Resort, 5781 Mountain Rd, Stowe, VT
Three days at Stowe Mountain. I'll have a small selection of finished pieces and a sample board of joinery details for anyone who wants to talk about a commission. Booth 14, near the main entrance.
December 5, 2026 · Cedar Hollow Shop, Lyndonville, VT
A workshop on finishes. Oil. Wax. Shellac. When to use which, how to apply each, how to fix what goes wrong. We'll work on small sample boards together, then walk through what would change on a real piece.
I take requests when I can. Send me a note about what you'd like to learn.
