Woodworking is my passion. Having taught many woodworking classes, I found that my woodworking students were terrified of using the standard aluminum taper jig so many years ago I began using a less refined version of this jig in my woodworking shop and when teaching woodworking classes. Woodworking does not need to be rocket science so as wind down crafting fine furniture I am refining and manufacturing my woodworking jigs so that others do not have to re-invent the wheel. Woodworking should be fun yet challenging, I hope I can help you become successful in your woodworking projects.
